## 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 x402-deployer-x402-deployer-workers-dev-2995778d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What time is sunrise, sunset, and golden hour at latitude 48.8566, longitude 2.3522 (Paris) on July 14th? Also give me civil and nautical twilight times.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need precise solar event times (sunrise, sunset, twilight phases, golden hour) for a specific geographic coordinate and date. Prefer over generic weather APIs when you need the full set of twilight categories (civil/nautical/astronomical) or golden hour windows in ISO8601 UTC format.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or out-of-range latitude/longitude returns an error
- Missing required parameters (lat, lng, date) returns a validation error
- Dates far in the past or future may return null values for polar regions with no sunrise/sunset
- Malformed date format returns a parse error

## How this service works

Sunrise sunset times. Returns sunrise, sunset, solar noon, day length, and civil / nautical / astronomical twilight begin and end for any latitude/longitude on any date. Also covers golden-hour and dawn / dusk. Same backend as astro-times under a more search-friendly slug. UTC ISO8601 strings.

## Output

Returns UTC ISO8601 strings for sunrise, sunset, solar noon, day length, civil twilight begin/end, nautical twilight begin/end, astronomical twilight begin/end, golden hour, and dawn/dusk for the given coordinates and date.
