## 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 astranl-dutch-vehicle-registration-check-fbae12a9
```

Example prompt: Can you check the Dutch licence plate H-123-DD for me — I want to know if it's WAM-insured, when the APK expires, and whether it has any flags in the open register?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to verify the status of a Dutch-registered vehicle by kenteken (licence plate) and require a cryptographically signed, tamper-proof receipt alongside the result. It is specifically suited for Netherlands WAM insurance checks, APK (MOT) expiry lookups, and open-register flag checks. Prefer it over generic web scraping when you need structured, verifiable data with an audit trail, and when per-call micropayment via x402/USDC is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Plate not found in register — found: false returned with no facts
- Invalid kenteken format (not 6 alphanumeric characters) — request rejected or empty result
- Payment failure via x402 — 402 Payment Required with no data returned
- Rate limiting or upstream register unavailability — 5xx error
- Plate exists but register data is incomplete — some fact fields may be absent

## How this service works

The Crossing moves look, claim, release, mark and check are free and need no account. The other paths are paid per call over x402, USDC on Base. Operator AstraNL, KvK 88449335.

## Output

A JSON object containing: the kenteken queried, a facts object with fields such as merk (make), handelsbenaming (trade name), wam_verzekerd (WAM insurance status), and vervaldatum_apk (APK expiry date); a flags array listing any issues found in open registers; a boolean found indicating whether the plate was located; a status string such as NO_FLAGS_IN_OPEN_REGISTER; and a cryptographically signed receipt containing a result SHA-256 hash, a base64 signature, and the signer's public key for tamper-proof verification.
