## 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-places-scraper-via-x402-9d274509 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Find me up to 100 Italian restaurants in Brooklyn, New York with at least 4 stars, only include ones that have a website, and return the results in English.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured business listing data from Google Maps — including addresses, ratings, categories, and website presence — without managing a scraping infrastructure yourself. It is especially valuable for lead generation, local market research, and travel planning workflows where Google Maps is the authoritative source. The pay-per-successful-call model makes it cost-efficient for exploratory queries.

## Known failure modes

- Empty result set if search terms return no matches on Google Maps (not charged)
- Rate limiting or blocking by Google Maps infrastructure
- Invalid or inaccessible searchUrls returning no data
- minimumStars filter too high, eliminating all results
- maxItems or maxCrawledPlacesPerSearch set to 0 or too low, truncating results
- Unsupported language code causing label mismatch

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a count and an array of place items, each containing rank, title, street, full address, categories, category name, the search string that found it, and the search page URL. Only successful, non-empty runs are charged.
