## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured local business directory data — addresses, phone numbers, hours, ratings — for a specific location or search query. Prefer it for agent workflows that need to surface POI data, compare local options, or enrich location-based recommendations without scraping the web manually.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for the given location or query — returns empty data or error
- Ambiguous location input leads to results from incorrect geographic area
- Business data may be outdated if the underlying data provider has not refreshed recently
- Invalid or missing required parameters return a generic API error
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 results in a 402 Payment Required response
