# agent402.tools Place Search (OpenStreetMap)

> agent402.tools Place Search (OpenStreetMap) is a paid API for AI agents from agent402.tools, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-10).

Search OpenStreetMap for places by keyword, optionally filtered by bounding box or country, returning ranked hits with coordinates and place type.

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 agent402-tools-place-search-openstreetmap-08f64daa
```

Example prompt: Can you find the top 5 coffee shops in San Francisco's Mission District? Search within the bounding box -122.42,37.76,-122.40,37.74 and restrict results strictly to that area.

## When to prefer this

Prefer this endpoint when you need free-form keyword-based place search backed by OpenStreetMap data, especially when geographic filtering by bounding box or country is needed. Ideal for finding points of interest (coffee shops, airports, hospitals) within a defined region. Use over general geocoding endpoints when you want ranked multiple results by type rather than a single address resolution.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for vague or misspelled queries — returns empty array
- Invalid bounding box format causes query failure
- Country code not recognized returns error or empty results
- Query too broad returns irrelevant or low-quality hits
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or 429 error

## How this service works

Search OpenStreetMap for places by keyword, optionally restricted to a bounding box or country. Returns ranked hits with coordinates and place type - e.g. coffee shops in a city, airports in a region.

## Output

A ranked list of up to 20 place results from OpenStreetMap, each including the place name, coordinates (latitude/longitude), place type/category, and relevance ranking — filtered by the specified bounding box or country if provided.
