## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-strale-io-c86c7562

Example prompt: Can you look up the Corporations Canada registration details for 'Shopify Inc.' — I need their legal status, registered address, and legal form?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need official federal Canadian corporation data from Corporations Canada — particularly for federally incorporated entities. Prefer this over provincial registry lookups when the corporation number is federal, or when you need to verify a company's federal legal standing, registered address, or corporate structure for compliance, due diligence, or enrichment purposes.

## Known failure modes

- Corporation number not found — invalid or non-federal corporation number returns empty or error response
- Fuzzy name match returns wrong company if name is ambiguous or too generic
- Company exists at provincial level only and is not in federal Corporations Canada registry
- Rate limiting or payment failure due to x402 protocol issues
- Malformed input (missing corporation_number query parameter) returns 400 error
