# Local Business Software Detector

> Local Business Software Detector is a paid API for AI agents from agent-data.centorprat.workers.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.03/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-28).

Identifies the software stack (POS, booking, CRM, etc.) each local business runs, plus vertical, software gaps, and contacts — from a website URL or Google Maps dataset

## 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 local-business-software-detector-ae0ae22f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check franklinbbq.com, southaustinbarbershop.com, and austinyoga.com and tell me what software each of them is running — specifically whether any of them are missing online booking or reservations tools?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to identify the specific software vendors a local business uses (POS, booking, CRM, etc.) from their website or a Google Maps dataset — particularly for sales prospecting, competitive intelligence, or gap analysis. Prefer this over generic web scrapers when you need structured, vendor-resolved intelligence with vertical classification and software gap detection across 450+ known vendors.

## Known failure modes

- Website blocks or times out — row returned as unreadable (not billed) if includeUnreadable=true, otherwise omitted
- No recognizable software detected — row returned with empty vendor list but still billed
- Invalid or non-existent domain — likely returns error or unreadable result
- Rate limiting at source website may cause partial detection
- Vertical filter excludes valid businesses — results may be empty if verticals don't match

## How this service works

Pay-per-call data and tools for AI agents, $0.002-0.01 per call in USDC via x402 (Base, Polygon or Solana), no account or API key; MAX tiers ($0.05-0.25) run deeper jobs. Agent toolkit: web search, search + read top pages, any page as clean markdown with a prompt-injection check, which-x402-API-to-call recommender, seller check. Data: Google Maps places with contacts, YouTube video data and transcripts, job listings (Indeed, LinkedIn, 13 boards), Google Ads Transparency, TikTok comments, Pinterest, Airbnb, Redfin, AliExpress, app stores, live sports, website and SEO checks, Shopify store tech stacks, and onchain token / address risk checks.

## Output

For each business URL submitted, the endpoint returns the detected software vendors (e.g. Toast, Vagaro, OpenTable), the business vertical, identified software gaps by category, and available contact information. Businesses that timed out or blocked the read are returned as unreadable rows (not billed) if includeUnreadable is set. Up to 3 businesses per call.
