## How to call it through Zero

Example prompt: Can you look up Equinor in the Norwegian company registry and get me their org number, VAT number, registered address, and current status?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative Norwegian company registration data directly from the Brønnøysund Register Centre. Prefer this over generic web searches when you need structured, verified fields like org number, VAT status, legal form, or registered address for Norwegian entities.

## Known failure modes

- Payment required (HTTP 402) if x402 payment header is missing or insufficient
- Invalid org number format (not 9 digits) returns error
- Company not found if name is ambiguous or does not exist in registry
- Network timeout or upstream registry unavailability

## How this service works

Look up Norwegian company data from the Brønnøysund Register Centre. Accepts org number (9 digits) or fuzzy company name.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the company's official name, 9-digit organization number, VAT number, business type/legal form, industry classification, registered address, and active/inactive status as recorded in the Brønnøysund Register Centre.
