## 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 google-maps-local-business-search-52b6ca0f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Google Maps for 'Italian restaurant' in the United States and give me the top 10 results with their ratings, addresses, phone numbers, and websites in English.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured Google Maps business data — ratings, addresses, phones, websites — for a specific keyword and geography, especially for lead generation, local market research, or concierge-style business discovery. Prefer this over a generic SERP endpoint when the use case is explicitly local/maps-based rather than organic web search rankings. Also prefer this when you need multiple fields per business (not just a name or URL) in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing keyword returns an error or empty results
- Unsupported location_code may return no results or an error
- Exceeding the limit of 100 may be capped or rejected
- Invalid language_code may fall back to default (de) or return an error
- Payment failure (x402) results in a 402 response before any data is returned
- Low-density locations may return fewer results than the requested limit
