## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured local business or place data from DuckDuckGo Maps without an API key or subscription, especially when you want pay-per-call pricing in USDC, need geographic filtering via coordinates or bounding box, or want to avoid Google Maps API costs. Prefer this over general web search endpoints when the user's intent is specifically map-based local discovery with address, rating, and thumbnail data.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required query parameter returns validation error
- Invalid or out-of-range latitude/longitude values cause empty or erroneous results
- lat provided without lon (or vice versa) may fail parameter validation
- Overly broad or ambiguous query returns irrelevant results
- No results found for query in given geographic area returns empty results array
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) blocks the request via x402 protocol
