## 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 apple-maps-business-search-place-data-scraper-41b02575 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Apple Maps for pizza restaurants in Chicago with at least a 4-star rating, only show ones that are open right now and have a website, and give me up to 30 results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured business data from Apple Maps specifically — including Apple Maps place IDs, formatted phone numbers, and place types — especially when filtering by open status, minimum rating, phone availability, or website presence. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when your use case involves local business discovery, lead generation, or building POI datasets from Apple Maps search results or direct place links.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if no businesses match the filters (not charged)
- Apple Maps rate limiting or anti-scraping measures causing partial results
- Invalid or malformed Apple Maps URLs in placeUrls or searchUrls inputs
- Unsupported locale string causing fallback to default en-US
- minRating filter too strict returning zero results
- Location string too ambiguous to geocode accurately

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

## Output

A JSON object containing a count of results and an array of place items, each with fields including name, phone, formatted phone, website URL, Apple Maps place URL, place ID, place ID hex, and place type. Failed or empty runs are not charged.
