## 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 openweb-ninja-local-business-area-search-by-bounding-box-895cf166
```

Example prompt: Find all coffee shops and cafes within the area bounded by coordinates 37.7800N, 122.4000W (northeast) and 37.7600N, 122.4300W (southwest) in San Francisco.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover businesses within a specific geographic region defined by map corners (bounding box), rather than a point-radius or city-name search. Ideal for map-based UIs, spatial analysis, real estate research, or when you have exact coordinate boundaries from a map viewport. Preferred over point-radius searches when the target area is rectangular or aligned with a map view.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or out-of-range bounding box coordinates return an error or empty result
- Bounding box too large may return truncated or incomplete results
- No businesses found in the specified area returns an empty array
- Malformed coordinate format causes a 400-level error
- Payment failure over x402 returns a 402 status without data
