## 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 bizintel-api-yelp-business-lookup-1dea32cb -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's the Yelp rating and number of reviews for Joe's Crab Shack in Houston, Texas?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, structured Yelp reputation data (rating + review count) for a named business in a specific city without needing a Yelp API key or account. It's ideal for AI agents doing local business vetting, vendor research, or competitive benchmarking at $0.03 per call via x402 USDC — far simpler than setting up a full Yelp Fusion integration.

## Known failure modes

- Business not found on Yelp returns low confidence or unsupported flag
- Ambiguous business name with multiple matches may reduce confidence
- Location too vague or misspelled may return no results
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or error response
- Data may be stale relative to current Yelp listings (data_as_of indicates last refresh)

## How this service works

Fetches local retail business ratings, reviews, and address from Yelp.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the business's Yelp star rating (e.g. 4.5), total review count, a confidence level (e.g. 'high'), a data_as_of date indicating freshness, a supported flag, any warnings, and a disclaimer noting the data is informational only.
