## 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 gocreative-census-business-metro-lookup-6b23edb2
```

Example prompt: Pull the U.S. Census business data for the New York-Newark metro area — I need establishment counts and employment figures for that metropolitan statistical area.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need official U.S. Census Bureau business statistics broken down by metropolitan statistical area (MSA), especially for economic research, market analysis, or comparing business density across metro regions. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, authoritative government data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized metro area identifier returns an error or empty result
- Metro area code not found in Census dataset
- Malformed query parameter causes 400 bad request
- Payment of $0.04 USDC not provided triggers 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returns 503

## Output
