# x402-factory Houston Hourly Weather Forecast

> x402-factory Houston Hourly Weather Forecast is a paid API for AI agents from x402-factory.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns an hourly weather forecast (temperature, precipitation probability, wind) for Houston up to 168 hours out, using NWS-derived data bias-blended with a calibrated station model, with each value labeled by the method that produced it.

## 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-houston-hourly-weather-forecast-3f652e4d
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the hourly Houston weather forecast for the next 72 hours in imperial units — I need temperature, rain chances, and wind for each hour with the forecast method noted?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a ready-made, Houston-specific hourly weather forecast without specifying coordinates, and when forecast provenance (NWS vs. bias-blended station model) matters to your application. It is ideal for agents that need rapid, low-cost ($0.01 USDC) access to calibrated Houston weather data with transparent method labeling, rather than calling a general-purpose forecast endpoint with Houston coordinates manually.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid 'hours' value outside 1–240 range returns a 400 validation error
- Invalid 'units' enum value returns a 400 error
- NWS data outage may degrade coverage or reduce forecast horizon
- Payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC payment is not provided or insufficient
- Forecast horizon beyond 168 hours may have reduced accuracy or missing method labels
- Rate limiting or network timeouts under high load

## How this service works

Hourly Houston weather forecast (blend model, method labeled) — Hourly weather forecast for Houston: 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 Houston coordinates built in.

## Output

A time-series array of hourly forecast objects covering up to 168 hours (or up to 240 if requested), each containing temperature, precipitation probability, wind speed/direction, and a method label indicating whether the value came from the NWS base data or the x402-factory bias-blended station model. Units are imperial by default or metric if specified.
