## 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 agents-litescrape-com-get-google-maps-photo-metadata-746016f0
```

Example prompt: I found a Google Maps photo with ID 'AF1QipN3x7kZmBvR_abc-123' — can you look up its metadata and tell me who contributed it, what place it belongs to, and its GPS coordinates?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a specific Google Maps photo ID (data_id) or a photo_meta_link from a Maps result and need structured metadata about that photo — particularly contributor attribution, place association, coordinates, and capture date. Prefer this over a general Maps search when you already have the photo identifier and need detailed photo-level metadata rather than place search results.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid data_id format returns a 400-level JSON error with error, error_code, status_code, request_id, and retryable fields
- Photo ID not found or removed from Google Maps returns an error response
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 or 429 response
- Unsupported google_domain value may produce unexpected results or errors
- Network timeouts return retryable error responses

## How this service works

Resolves one Google Maps photo to its contributor, the place it belongs to, coordinates, photo type, and capture date. Identify the photo by its ID (letters, digits, underscores, or hyphens), or follow a nested photo_meta_link from a Maps result. One call is one request.

## Output

Returns a photo object containing the contributor's name and profile details, the associated place name and place ID, GPS coordinates, photo type classification (e.g. street view, interior, exterior), and capture date. Also includes search_metadata (request ID, status, time taken) and search_parameters echoing the normalized inputs. Pagination may appear if multiple results exist.
