## 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-factory-boston-hourly-weather-forecast-e54bef08
```

Example prompt: What's the hourly weather forecast for Boston for the next 72 hours in imperial units — I need temperature, precipitation probability, and wind?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need an hourly Boston weather forecast with transparent method labeling (NWS vs. bias-blended station model) and don't want to pass coordinates manually. It is more convenient than the generic /v1/forecast/point endpoint for Boston-specific use cases and provides the same data quality with built-in calibration. Prefer it over raw NWS APIs when you need reliable bias correction and a consistent JSON schema.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid 'hours' value outside 1–240 range returns a validation error
- Invalid 'units' value (not 'imperial' or 'metric') returns a bad request error
- Upstream NWS data outage may cause degraded or stale forecast data
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 Payment Required response
- Network timeout if upstream NWS API is slow to respond

## How this service works

Hourly Boston weather forecast (blend model, method labeled) — Hourly weather forecast for Boston: temperature, precipitation probability, and wind, up to 168 hours out. NWS-derived series, bias-blended with our calibrated station model where covered — every response labels the method that produced it. Same shape as /v1/forecast/point with the Boston coordinates built in.

## Output

A JSON array of hourly forecast entries for Boston covering up to 168 hours (or up to 240 if specified), each including timestamp, temperature, precipitation probability, wind speed, and a method label indicating whether the value came from the NWS model, the calibrated station blend, or another source. Units are imperial by default but can be set to metric.
