## 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-rank-tracker-places-search-60b91c1d
```

Example prompt: Can you find all the pizza restaurants near downtown Chicago and give me their Google Place IDs, addresses, and coordinates?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to find local businesses or points of interest near a specific location with Google Maps-level data including place IDs and coordinates — especially useful for local SEO rank tracking, competitor research, or geocoding business locations. Prefer this over generic geocoding APIs when you need Google-specific identifiers (place_id, CID) for local ranking analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'query' parameter returns an error
- Invalid or unrecognized 'near' location may return zero results
- No results found for obscure query/location combinations
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance insufficient
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made
