Find points of interest near a coordinate. Backed by OpenStreetMap via the Overpass API (free, public, ODbL). Returns name, OSM id (e.g. node/123 — deep-linkable to openstreetmap.org), latitude, longitude, distance in meters, composed street address (when present), phone, website, opening hours, brand, and cuisine tags. Results sorted nearest-first. Supported categories: restaurant, cafe, bar, fast_food, gas_station, ev_charging, parking, atm, bank, hospital, pharmacy, clinic, doctor, dentist, police, fire_station, post_office, library, toilets, school, university, supermarket, convenience, hotel, hostel, museum, attraction, park, playground. Query: lat (-90..90), lon (-180..180), category (one of the supported names), radius_m (1-10000, default 1000), limit (1-100, default 20).

## Other responses

- `200` (unresolved $ref)
- `400`: Invalid request — not charged. error.code: BAD_REQUEST or INVALID_PARAM (parameter validation; error.details.issues lists each problem), MALFORMED_JSON, or a request-specific code. Other client errors: 405 METHOD_NOT_ALLOWED (wrong verb; see the Allow header), 413 PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE.
- `402`: Payment required. Body is the x402 PaymentRequirements envelope with a multi-network accepts array; the per-call price is in accepts[].amount (and on the operation as x-2s-price). Sign for whichever rail you hold USDC on (EIP-3009 for Base, partial SPL transfer for Solana) and retry with the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header (X-PAYMENT also accepted for v1 clients). Also PAYMENT_SETTLE_FAILED (error envelope) when a verified payment failed to settle: error.details.chargeStatus is "not_charged" (retry with a fresh payment) or "unknown" (the authorization may still settle before its deadline — check it before retrying).
- `429`: Too many requests — RATE_LIMITED: our per-IP / per-payer limiter. Not charged; retry after Retry-After.
- `5XX`: Server-side failure. 500 INTERNAL: unexpected error; quote error.errorId (also the X-2s-Error-Id header). 502 UPSTREAM_UNAVAILABLE (or another UPSTREAM_* code): the data provider failed — composite endpoints refuse unbilled when every source fails. 503 SERVICE_PAUSED: endpoint paused by the operator kill switch, retry after Retry-After; 503 SPEND_CAP: daily upstream budget exhausted. 504 UPSTREAM_TIMEOUT. Not charged.
