## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative UK charity data — registration status, income, or activities — especially for compliance, due diligence, or verifying a charity's legitimacy. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, official Charity Commission data.

## Known failure modes

- Charity not found for given registration number or name — returns empty or 404-style response
- Invalid charity number format — query returns no results
- Name search too ambiguous — may return multiple or no matching charities
- Charity Commission API unavailable — upstream timeout or error
- Non-UK charities not found — only covers England and Wales Charity Commission register
