## 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 agentbit-app-google-maps-local-business-search-57ee43d1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Find me up to 10 dentists in Austin, TX — I need their names, addresses, phone numbers, ratings, and hours.

## When to prefer this

Prefer this endpoint when you need structured local business data from Google Maps — including ratings, reviews, contact info, hours, and coordinates — for use cases like lead generation, local directory building, competitor research, or helping a user find a nearby service. It is ideal when the user specifies a business type and a city or neighborhood. Prefer alternatives if you need global/national business data not tied to a physical location, or if you need reviews content in full text rather than aggregate counts.

## Known failure modes

- Query returns zero results if the search term or location is too specific or misspelled
- Coordinates in 'll' field must be formatted as '@lat,lng,zoom' or the request may fail
- Limit exceeding 20 is clamped or rejected
- Some businesses may have incomplete data (missing phone, hours, or website) depending on their Google Maps listing
- Rate limiting or payment failure at $0.03 per call may cause 402 errors

## How this service works

Find local businesses via Google Maps: name, address, rating, reviews, category, phone, website, hours, coordinates. For lead-gen, directories, "find me a…".

## Output

A list of up to 20 local business results from Google Maps, each containing the business name, formatted address, star rating, number of reviews, category/type, phone number, website URL, opening hours, and geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude).
