## 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 fanfare-api-fly-dev-436bf2bb
```

Example prompt: What restaurants are near Yankee Stadium? The venue ID is 3313 — show me places to eat before the game.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to help a user plan activities around an MLB baseball game — finding places to eat, drink, park, or explore near a specific ballpark. Prefer this over generic location search when the user already has an MLB venue context and wants curated nearby options filtered by place type.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing venueId returns an error or empty result
- Unsupported Google Places type filter returns an error
- No nearby results found for the requested type returns an empty list
- Network or upstream Google Places API failure returns a 5xx error
- Payment not provided or insufficient returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

## Output

A list of nearby places matching the requested type (restaurant, bar, cafe, parking, tourist_attraction, or lodging) around the specified MLB ballpark, sourced from Google Places, including place names, addresses, ratings, and relevant details for pre-game or game-day planning.
