## 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-cslb-contractor-license-lookup-c8f81529
```

Example prompt: Can you check if California contractor license number 1098765 is currently active and tell me what classifications they're licensed for?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify or look up California contractor licensing status from CSLB public records, particularly for due diligence before hiring contractors, confirming license classifications, or automating compliance checks in California construction or real estate workflows. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, machine-readable license data rather than scraped HTML.

## Known failure modes

- No results found if the license number doesn't exist or the business name doesn't match any CSLB records
- Results capped at 5 per request regardless of how many matches exist
- Partial name matches may return unexpected or irrelevant results
- CSLB data may have a slight lag behind real-time license changes
- Payment required — request returns 402 if USDC payment via x402 is not provided

## How this service works

No-key evaluation APIs for public data and utilities: business filings, permits, bankruptcy dockets, NPI providers, HTTP status checks, sitemap URL extraction, SEC EDGAR, IRS 990, WHOIS, and validation. Paid x402 access is live.

## Output

Returns a list of matching contractor records (up to 5), each containing the license number, business name, current license status (e.g. 'This license is current and active.'), a list of license classifications with codes and descriptions (e.g. 'B - GENERAL BUILDING'), and a link to the full CSLB detail page.
