## 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 web-access-gateway-geographic-place-search-a6c7d746 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you find the address, hours, and any other useful local details for Blue Bottle Coffee in the Mission District, San Francisco?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need location, address, hours, or local-context information about a named place or business from aggregated public web sources. Prefer it over general web search when the query is specifically place-centric and you want ranked local-context results. Do not use it for turn-by-turn routing, live mapping, or real-time inventory — it surfaces editorial and informational web content about places, not live GPS or map data.

## Known failure modes

- Query too vague or ambiguous — may return irrelevant or loosely related location results
- No web sources found for highly obscure or unlisted locations — may return empty or low-quality results
- Hours or address information may be outdated if the underlying web sources are stale
- Query that resembles a routing or mapping request may return non-navigational results since this endpoint does not provide turn-by-turn directions or map data
- Rate limiting or payment failure if x402 payment is not properly handled

## How this service works

Find 5 ranked location, address, hours, and local-context sources using place terms in the query. Not routing or Maps data.

## Output

Five ranked web results containing location details, addresses, business hours, and local contextual information sourced from public web pages relevant to the place query. Results are ranked by relevance and include source excerpts focused on geographic and business details.
