## 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-9e9b2ef7
```

Example prompt: Search the state business registries for a company called 'Acme Distribution LLC' — check across NY, TX, and CO and pull richer details if available, up to 5 results — I need to verify it's a legitimate registered entity before onboarding them as a vendor.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need official-source, public-records evidence of a business entity's legal registration status — especially for KYB workflows, merchant underwriting, vendor onboarding, or supplier due diligence where authoritative state registry data is required. Prefer this over third-party business data APIs when official government registry provenance matters.

## Known failure modes

- No matching entity found for the query name — returns empty results array
- State not in supported pilot list (e.g. CA without a key) — returns error or empty results
- Ambiguous company name returns too many unrelated results — agent should refine query
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 — returns 402 or 429 status
- State registry source temporarily unavailable — returns partial or error response

## How this service works

Business registry lookup for KYB, merchant underwriting, company verification, legal entity verification, vendor due diligence, supplier onboarding, and official-source public records evidence

## Output

Returns one or more business entity records sourced from official state registries, including legal entity name, registration status, entity type, state of formation, and optionally richer details such as registered agent, address, and filing history, depending on the state source.
