## 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 kiteendpoints-ai-local-business-api-8bb42f97 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up local businesses in downtown Austin, Texas — specifically coffee shops — and give me their names, addresses, and contact info?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to look up local business information — such as names, addresses, phone numbers, or categories — for a specific area or query, and you are operating in a pay-per-request USDC micropayment environment on Base chain. Prefer this over free directory APIs when you need reliable uptime and per-call pricing without subscription commitments.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid query parameters returns an empty or error result
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) results in 402 response
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded returns an error
- Vague or unrecognized location queries may return empty results
- Malformed request body returns validation error
