## 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-places-autocomplete-b2fc6c7c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: As the user types 'Eiffel' in the destination field, show them place autocomplete suggestions from Google Maps — bias results toward Paris, France, and return English language predictions.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time place name and address suggestions as a user types — ideal for powering typeahead/autocomplete UI components in location search fields. Prefer over geocoding when you want ranked candidate suggestions rather than a definitive coordinate lookup for a complete address.

## Known failure modes

- Empty input string returns no suggestions
- Overly generic or nonsensical input yields low-confidence or empty predictions
- Invalid session token may cause billing or session errors
- Unsupported language or region code returns default-language results
- Rate limits or quota exhaustion return 429 or quota-exceeded errors
- Network timeout returns no response
