## 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`):

Example prompt: Search Google Maps for 'digital marketing agencies in Austin, Texas' and pull back their business names, email addresses, and any social media profiles you can find — I need to build a cold outreach list.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to bulk-collect contact information (especially emails and social media handles) for businesses discoverable on Google Maps, filtered by keyword and location. It is ideal for lead generation, B2B outreach, market research, or competitive analysis workflows where manual lookup would be impractical. Prefer this over generic web scrapers when the data source is specifically Google Maps business listings.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if the search query is too narrow or location is misspelled
- Email/social fields may be empty if businesses haven't listed them publicly
- Rate limits or timeouts from Google Maps scraping infrastructure
- Stale data if Google Maps listings haven't been recently updated
- Query with no geographic context may return globally mixed or irrelevant results

## How this service works

## Output

A list of Google Maps business records matching the search query, each containing the business name, address, phone number, website URL, email address(es), and social media profile links (e.g. Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter) where available.
