## 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

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to discover multiple local businesses in a geographic area without requiring an API key or account setup, and you are comfortable with micro-payment via x402 (USDC on Base/Polygon/Arbitrum). It is ideal for agents that need on-demand, pay-per-call local business data without subscription commitments. Prefer it over Google Places or Yelp API when you want frictionless access with no rate-limit tiers.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for obscure or sparsely populated areas
- Stale or outdated business listings for recently closed businesses
- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting if too many calls are made in rapid succession
- Invalid or unrecognized location input returns empty results
