## 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-media-13f6a550
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the actual photo image for the Google Maps place with ID ChIJN1t_tDeuEmsRUsoyG83frY3 using photo reference ATplDJZ8v9WNKF3o9q2mD0k9xv7T? I want the full-resolution media.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have already obtained a place ID and a photo reference/photo ID (e.g., from a Places search or Place Details call) and need to retrieve the actual image media. This is the final step in a places photo workflow — after discovering that a photo exists, this endpoint delivers the actual image bytes or hosted URL.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid place ID returns 404 not found
- Invalid or expired photo ID returns 404
- Missing required path parameters returns 400 bad request
- Unauthorized access returns 401 if API key is missing or invalid
- Rate limit exceeded returns 429 too many requests
- Photo no longer available returns 404
