## 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 autoscrape-api-seven-vercel-app-763b467a
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the WHOIS registration details for shopify-deals-outlet.com — I want to know how old the domain is and who registered it before I approve this merchant account.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative WHOIS-based domain age and registration evidence for fraud detection, merchant onboarding, vendor due diligence, or third-party risk reviews. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, machine-readable registration metadata (registrar, dates, age) rather than subjective reputation scores.

## Known failure modes

- Domain not found or not registered — may return empty or error response
- Invalid domain format input — query parameter missing or malformed
- WHOIS privacy protection active — registrant details may be redacted
- Rate limiting or payment failure for x402 micropayment — returns 402 or 429 status
- TLD not supported by WHOIS lookup — uncommon or new TLDs may have limited data

## How this service works

## Output

WHOIS record data for the queried domain, including registration date, expiration date, registrar name, domain age, and registrant details — structured evidence for assessing domain legitimacy and reputation in risk or fraud review workflows.
