## 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 australian-company-register-lookup-1c15c4d2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the Australian company with ABN 51 824 753 556 and tell me their registered business name, entity type, and current status?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify or enrich information about an Australian business entity using its ABN, ACN, or registered name. It is ideal for supplier onboarding, invoice validation, compliance workflows, and business identity verification in an Australian context. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, authoritative company register data rather than unstructured web results.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent ABN/ACN returns not found or error response
- Ambiguous company name search may return no results or multiple candidates requiring disambiguation
- ABR data may be slightly delayed and not reflect very recent registrations or cancellations
- Malformed input (e.g. ABN with wrong digit count) may result in validation error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request before it reaches the registry
