## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user needs to find a qualified herbal or traditional medicine practitioner by tradition (Ayurveda, TCM, Western herbalism, Amazonian, African), specialty, or location. Prefer this over generic doctor-finder APIs when the user specifically wants plant-based or traditional medicine expertise. Distinct from the herb profile or drug interaction endpoints — this returns people/practitioners, not plant data.

## Known failure modes

- No practitioners found matching the requested tradition or location — returns empty results
- Invalid or unsupported language code provided — falls back to English or returns error
- Location too vague or outside coverage area — returns no results or broad matches
- Service unavailable due to Vercel hosting issues — 500 error
- Payment not processed via x402 micropayment — 402 payment required error
