Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability worlddata402-air-quality-35145655
```

Example prompt: What's the current air quality at latitude 40.7128, longitude -74.0060? I want to know how safe the air is right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need pay-per-call air quality data without a subscription, billed at $0.01 USDC via x402 on Base mainnet. It is well-suited for agents that need occasional location-based AQI lookups without committing to a monthly API plan. Prefer this over free tiers that have restrictive rate limits or require OAuth setup, especially in automated agent workflows that benefit from crypto-native micropayments.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required lat or lon parameters returns a validation error
- Coordinates outside valid range (lat > 90 or lon > 180) may return an error or empty data
- No air quality monitoring data available for remote or oceanic coordinates
- Payment failure over x402 if insufficient USDC balance on Base mainnet
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in rapid succession

## How this service works

Global market, government and reference data for AI agents. Pay-per-call over x402 (USDC on Base mainnet).

## Output

Returns an object containing current air quality metrics for the specified coordinates, expected to include air quality index (AQI), individual pollutant readings (e.g. PM2.5, PM10, O3, NO2, CO, SO2), and possibly a qualitative category (good, moderate, unhealthy, etc.) and timestamp.
