## 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-io-texas-trade-occupational-license-lookup-f1f6ceee
```

Example prompt: Can you check if there's a valid Texas electrician's license for someone named 'Rodriguez Electric Services' — I need the license number, expiration date, and county?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify or look up Texas-specific trade and occupational licenses issued by the TDLR, including electricians, HVAC technicians, cosmetologists, and tow operators. Prefer this over general web searches when you need authoritative, structured license data for contractor due diligence or KYC workflows. For medical professionals use the sibling /api/license/medical (NPI) endpoint, and for financial brokers use /api/license/broker (FINRA).

## Known failure modes

- No results returned when name/license number doesn't match any active TX license
- licenseNumber requires exact match — partial license numbers return empty results
- Only TX (Texas) is supported; queries for other states will fail schema validation
- Overly broad name searches may return too many results — use county or licenseType to narrow
- Expired or inactive licenses may not appear in results if the registry only returns active records

## How this service works

Verify US trade / occupational licenses (electricians, A/C technicians, cosmetologists, tow operators, and other state-regulated trades). Currently supported state: TX (Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation, all active licenses). Search by name (matches owner or business name, partial), licenseNumber (exact), licenseType (partial, e.g. "Electrician"), county. Each license: type + subtype, number, business + owner name, county, expiration date, continuing-education flag. Contractor due-diligence and KYC. Siblings: /api/license/medical (NPI), /api/license/broker (FINRA). Official state open data.

## Output

Returns a paginated list of matching TDLR licenses, each containing: license type and subtype, license number, business name, owner name, county, expiration date, and a continuing-education compliance flag. Up to 100 results per page with offset-based pagination.
