## 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 whatchuneed-maps-api-209034bb -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you find the coordinates and map details for 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA using the whatchuneed maps endpoint?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a simple, pay-per-call maps or geolocation lookup without committing to a subscription with a major mapping provider. Useful for AI agents that need occasional geocoding, routing, or place search without managing API keys for Google Maps or Mapbox directly. Best for low-to-moderate volume geospatial queries where per-call USDC payment via x402 is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Vague or ambiguous location query returns no results or incorrect match
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response and no data returned
- Malformed input string causes API error
- Place not found in underlying map data source returns empty result
- Rate limiting or upstream provider downtime causes request failure
