## 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 energybilltoolkit-co-uk-place-lookup-1954ec65 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the place called 'Lyon' and tell me its coordinates, population, country, and which admin region it belongs to?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, structured geographic metadata (coordinates, population, country, admin region) for a named place without requiring a full geocoding or mapping API. Ideal for enriching datasets with location context, resolving place names to coordinates, or quickly looking up demographic and administrative data for a city or town by name.

## Known failure modes

- Place name not found — returns empty results or error if no match exists
- Ambiguous place name matching multiple locations — may return multiple candidates or only the top result
- Misspelled or non-standard place names may fail to resolve
- Rate limiting or payment issues at $0.01 per call could interrupt batch use
