## 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-openwebninja-com-waze-autocomplete-place-type-ahead-ea258361
```

Example prompt: Can you find the coordinates and address for 'Central Park' near New York City (40.7128, -74.0060) using Waze's autocomplete, in English?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need Waze-specific place data with type-ahead/autocomplete behavior, especially when a coordinate bias is available to improve relevance. It is well suited for navigation, delivery, or mapping applications that rely on Waze's POI and address database. Prefer it over generic geocoding APIs when Waze routing data alignment is important.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'q' or 'coordinates' parameters returns a validation error
- Ambiguous or misspelled queries may return zero results
- Unsupported language codes may fall back to a default or return an error
- Rate limits or payment issues may return a 402 or 429 error
- Very remote or poorly mapped areas may return limited Waze data

## How this service works

Waze autocomplete/type-ahead functionality for places/POI, locations and addresses.  Accepts a query, an optional location bias coordinates, and a language parameter and returns place name,  address and location (latitude, longitude pair).

## Output

Returns an array of matching places, each with a name, formatted address, latitude, and longitude. Also includes the status of the response, the coordinates used for the request, and a unique request ID.
