## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability 402utils-country-info-1e5b353c
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the country reference card for France — I need its ISO codes, current currency, phone dialling prefix, ccTLDs, official languages, and whether it's in the EU, EEA, Schengen, and euro zone?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, up-to-date ISO/IANA/ITU/EU-sourced country metadata — especially for regulatory fields like EU VAT prefixes, Schengen/EEA membership, current currency (e.g. Bulgaria adopted EUR in 2026), and ccTLDs — and you need it as a single structured response rather than scraping multiple reference sources. Best for enriching address data, validating international forms, or building compliance-aware workflows for European and major world markets.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or misspelled country identifier returns a 404 or error response
- Passing a numeric code without leading zeros may fail to match
- Countries outside the 56-country scope (EU-27, EEA/EFTA, GB, US, and 24 majors) will return no result
- Network timeout on slow connections

## How this service works

Country reference card by ISO code (alpha-2/alpha-3/numeric) or English name: ISO 3166 codes, official name, current ISO 4217 currency (Bulgaria = EUR since 2026-01-01), dialling prefix, IANA ccTLDs (incl. IDN), languages, EU/EEA/Schengen/euro-area membership and the EU VAT prefix (Greece = EL). 56 countries: EU-27, EEA/EFTA, GB, US + 24 majors. Compiled from ISO/IANA/ITU/europa.eu sources, dated `asOf`.

## Output

A JSON object with ISO alpha-2, alpha-3, and numeric codes; official and common name; current ISO 4217 currency code and symbol; ITU E.164 phone prefix; IANA ccTLDs (including IDN variants); ISO 639-1 language codes; boolean flags for EU membership, EEA, Schengen, and euro-zone participation; EU VAT prefix (EU members only, Greece = EL); and a dataset verification date (asOf).
