## 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 lion-poi-business-search-70b83bea
```

Example prompt: Find me 5 restaurants in Midtown Manhattan — I need their names, phone numbers, addresses, websites, and opening hours.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs structured, up-to-date business/POI data including contact info and opening hours for a named area or bounding box, without requiring API key registration. Ideal for agents operating in an x402 payment environment that need keyless, pay-per-call access to local business search data sourced from OpenStreetMap.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for the specified area or category combination
- Invalid or unrecognized area name causes empty results
- Payment failure via x402 returns HTTP 402 before data is delivered
- Bounding box coordinates malformed or out of range
- Category string not recognized returns empty or unfiltered results

## How this service works

Keyless off-chain and on-chain data for AI agents. No API key, no signup - payment is the only gate. Pay-per-call in USDC on Base via x402.

## Output

A JSON object containing a list of matching businesses with their coordinates, name, brand, phone number, street address, website, category tag, and opening hours, plus attribution to OpenStreetMap and Nominatim, and a query summary with the searched area and category.
