## 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 2s-business-entity-match-749485b1
```

Example prompt: Can you find the official LEI code and headquarters for 'JP Morgan Chase & Co' — search as a US entity and return the top 3 matches with confidence scores?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve a free-text company name to a verified LEI code for KYC, financial compliance, or entity enrichment workflows — especially when input is messy or informal. Prefer over manual GLEIF search when automating entity resolution at scale without requiring API keys or subscriptions.

## Known failure modes

- No matching entities found for very obscure or misspelled names — returns empty items array
- Ambiguous name with many partial matches — low confidence scores across all candidates
- Country filter too restrictive — entity exists but not in specified country, returns empty
- Name string too short (under 2 chars) or too long (over 200 chars) — validation error
- Payment failure via x402 — 402 response if USDC payment not provided
- Upstream GLEIF data unavailability — service may return error or stale data

## How this service works

Fuzzy entity resolution: resolve a messy, free-text company name to its canonical GLEIF Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) with a 0-1 similarity score and a high/medium/low confidence label. Tolerant of legal-suffix noise (Inc/Ltd/GmbH/S.A.), word order, ampersands, punctuation, and former/alternate names (e.g. 'Apple Computer Inc' resolves to Apple Inc. via GLEIF's recorded other-names). Returns the top candidates ranked by score plus a single bestMatch (null when nothing clears medium confidence — so a low-confidence top hit is never silently treated as a match, which is the safe default for KYB). The record-linkage complement to business.lei (name search). Optional country (ISO-2) narrows to a jurisdiction. Backed by GLEIF Golden Copy (~2.6M entities, CC0).

## Output

Returns a ranked list of up to 25 legal entity candidates, each with their LEI code, legal name, alternate name, fuzzy match score, confidence level (high/medium/low), jurisdiction, entity status, registration status, and headquarters city/region/country. Also includes a bestMatch summary in metadata and source/license attribution.
