## 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-searchnearby-435a7e0e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Find up to 10 highly rated restaurants near coordinates 37.7749, -122.4194 in San Francisco — return their names, addresses, ratings, and opening hours, ranked by popularity.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover and list multiple places near a geographic point, especially when filtering by type (restaurant, hospital, park, etc.) or ranking by popularity/distance. Prefer over text search when you have coordinates and want proximity-based results rather than keyword matching.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported place type value returns a 400 error
- Exceeding max results limit returns a 400 error
- Invalid API key or unauthorized access returns a 401/403 error
- No places found matching criteria returns an empty results array
