## 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 apac-reg-notes-weekly-brief-8e6770b0
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest weekly APAC regulatory brief from APAC Reg Notes — I want the bilingual English and Chinese digest covering Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and India, with impact levels flagged for any AI or fintech notices.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a structured, pre-curated weekly digest of APAC regulatory activity across multiple jurisdictions (HK, TW, JP, IN) in both English and Simplified Chinese, with impact classification and sector tagging already applied. It is ideal for compliance monitoring workflows, weekly briefings, or alerting pipelines that need to track AI, fintech, and AML regulation across the region without scraping individual regulator websites. Prefer this over search endpoints when you want the full week's digest rather than targeted keyword searches.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid week format (not matching YYYY-Www pattern) returns a validation error
- Requesting a future week or unpublished week may return empty or not-found response
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks access
- Rate limiting if too many calls in short succession
- Truncated or missing fields if upstream regulatory sources were unavailable during digest generation
