## 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 relaystation-place-search-b81c8080 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for coffee shops near coordinates 37.7749, -122.4194 in the US, give me up to 5 results in English.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need fast, cheap ($0.01/call) free-text place and POI search with coordinate output, especially within the Relaystation ecosystem where a single balance covers 155+ tools. Prefer it over dedicated geocoding APIs when you want consolidated billing and don't need advanced routing or real-time traffic data.

## Known failure modes

- Query string too short or empty returns validation error
- Country codes not in ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 format cause rejection
- biasPosition array must have exactly 2 numeric elements or is ignored
- maxResults outside 1–20 range returns validation error
- No matching places found returns empty results array
- Insufficient balance returns payment/authorization error
