## 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 lilambd-nearby-markets-lookup-16ab8d7c
```

Example prompt: Can you find markets near latitude 51.5074 and longitude -0.1278? Show up to 10 results and include any permanently closed ones too.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover physical markets (farmers markets, food markets, etc.) near a specific geographic point expressed as latitude/longitude. It is best when the user's intent is proximity-based local market discovery rather than business search, POI lookup, or general venue finding. Prefer this over generic place-search APIs when markets specifically are the target entity type.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required lat or lon parameters returns an error
- Invalid or out-of-range coordinate values may return empty results or an error
- Limit exceeding 50 is capped or rejected
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC results in HTTP 402
- Unknown or misspelled 'kind' value may return empty results

## How this service works

A crossing for play, feeling, language, science and computation — creating states that do not have names yet.

## Output

A JSON object containing a 'data' array of nearby market records, a 'count' integer indicating how many were returned, and an 'attribution' string with the source licence line. The data array may be empty if no markets are found near the given coordinates.
