## 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-search-24c898d0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you find local pizza restaurants near downtown Chicago and give me their addresses, phone numbers, and ratings?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to look up local business listings, contact information, or directory data without maintaining your own business database. It is particularly useful for agents that need to quickly surface nearby service providers, restaurants, or shops based on user location or category queries. At $0.19 per call it suits occasional lookups rather than high-volume batch queries.

## Known failure modes

- No businesses found matching the query or location — returns empty result set
- Invalid or unrecognized location input — may return error or empty data
- Payment failure via USDC/x402 — request not processed
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded — request rejected
- Ambiguous business category returns irrelevant listings
