## 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 va-facilities-search-577e3839
```

Example prompt: Can you find all VA medical centers and outpatient clinics in Texas, starting with Houston — I need their addresses, coordinates, and operating status?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, searchable data on Veterans Health Administration physical facilities — their locations, types, and operational details — sourced from public VA/HRSA records. Prefer this over general web search when you need machine-readable coordinates, addresses, and facility classifications for downstream mapping, territory analysis, or contractor research targeting VA sites.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if state code is invalid or unrecognized
- Facility type filter with unsupported value returns empty or error response
- Health services and classification fields absent if VA Lighthouse API key is not configured
- Pagination offset beyond total results returns empty list
- Name fragment too generic may return large unfiltered result sets

## How this service works

Where are the VA's facilities, and of what type? Search Veterans Health Administration sites of care (medical centers, CBOCs, vet centers, health care centers) by state, city, name, or facility type. Returns location, address, coordinates, and — when the VA Lighthouse Facilities API key is configured — classification, health services, and operating status. A territory map for medical-device, imaging, staffing, and construction sellers into the VA. Public VA/HRSA records.

## Output

Returns a paginated list of VA facility records matching the search criteria, each including facility name, full address, geographic coordinates, facility type, classification (when VA Lighthouse API key is configured), available health services, and operating status. Defaults to 25 results per page with offset-based pagination up to 100 per call.
