## 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-strale-io-c73a99f3
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the location and ISP for IP address 8.8.8.8, and tell me if it's a proxy or hosting provider?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to geolocate a specific IP address and also want to detect whether it belongs to a proxy, VPN, or hosting provider in a single call. Prefer this over generic IP lookup tools when proxy/fraud detection context is needed alongside location data.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid IP address parameter returns an error
- Malformed IP string may result in lookup failure
- Private/reserved IP ranges may return no geolocation data
- Payment not provided results in a 402 Payment Required error with accepted payment details
