## 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 openwebninja-local-business-search-f7f3ac8d
```

Example prompt: Find me up to 20 coffee shops near coordinates 37.359428, -121.925337 in the US — include subtypes and extract any available emails and contact info.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover local businesses by keyword near a specific geographic coordinate, especially when contact extraction (emails, phone) is needed. Prefer over general web search when structured business directory data with location context is required. Well-suited for use cases like lead generation, local market research, or building business directories around a lat/lng point.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'query' parameter returns validation error
- Invalid or out-of-range lat/lng returns no results or error
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC balance returns 402
- Unsupported region or language code may return empty results
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded returns error response
- Network timeout for areas with dense business data
