## 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 aayat-ai-uk-food-hygiene-ratings-a28eb596

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative UK food hygiene inspection data sourced directly from the Food Standards Agency FHRS open data. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, machine-readable rating scores (hygiene, structural, management), geolocation, and rating dates for UK food businesses. Ideal for due diligence, consumer safety checks, or aggregating food safety information programmatically without scraping the FSA website.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if business name or postcode does not match any registered establishment
- Partial postcode may return too many results — use more specific postcode or combine with name
- Business may appear under a slightly different registered name than its trading name
- Rating data may be stale if the business has not had a recent inspection
- Newly opened businesses may not yet appear in the FSA database

## How this service works

UK food hygiene ratings (Food Standards Agency) for restaurants, takeaways, shops and other food businesses: rating (0-5 or Pass/Improvement Required in Scotland), inspection date, hygiene/structural/management scores, address and location. Search by ?name=...&postcode=... or address. Official FSA data.

## Output

A JSON object containing the total number of matching businesses and an array of results. Each result includes the business name, type, address, postcode, latitude, longitude, food hygiene rating (0-5 or Exempt), FHRS scheme, individual inspection scores (hygiene, management, structural), rating date, local authority, and a link to the official FSA ratings page. Also includes the Open Government Licence attribution.
