## 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 api-acre-wikidata-organization-search-663b386e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Wikidata for up to 5 organization candidates matching 'Siemens' in English and return their normalized public metadata — website, inception date, country, industry, headquarters, parent, and any subsidiary or product links.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, normalized public metadata about organizations from an open, CC0-licensed knowledge graph (Wikidata) without needing real-time or verified commercial data. Ideal for enriching CRM records, populating knowledge bases, researching company histories, or mapping corporate structures using open data. Prefer over proprietary company APIs when cost, licensing, or open-data requirements matter. Not suitable when you need verified, legally authoritative, or real-time financial data.

## Known failure modes

- No matching organization found for the given name — empty results array returned
- Wikidata service unavailable or rate-limited — upstream error propagated
- Ambiguous organization name returns many low-confidence candidates — agent must disambiguate
- Requested language not available for some fields — fields fall back to English or null
- max_results set too high may slow response or hit upstream limits

## How this service works

Search CC0 Wikidata organization candidates and normalize public websites, inception dates, company identifiers, entity types, countries, industries, headquarters, parent, founder, owner, subsidiary, and product links with explicit non-verification caveats.

## Output

A list of matching Wikidata organization candidates (up to max_results), each normalized with fields such as public website URL, inception date, company identifiers (e.g. LEI, CIK), entity type, country, industry classification, headquarters location, parent organization, founder, owner, subsidiaries, and product links. All data carries explicit non-verification caveats indicating it is sourced from CC0 Wikidata and has not been independently confirmed.
