## 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-fmcsa-carrier-safety-lookup-7532d883
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the FMCSA carrier safety record for Swift Transportation — DOT number 54283 — including their inspection history and any crash involvement?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to verify a motor carrier's FMCSA registration status, safety rating, inspection history, or crash record before onboarding a freight partner, filing compliance reports, or performing due diligence on trucking companies. Prefer this over generic business lookup APIs when the subject is a US motor carrier regulated by FMCSA and you need DOT-specific safety data including violations and inspections.

## Known failure modes

- No carrier found for the given DOT number or name — returns empty results array
- Invalid DOT number format — non-numeric or exceeding 10 digits
- State code not recognized — must be valid two-letter US state abbreviation
- Registration status filter must be A, I, or P — other values may be ignored
- Results capped at 5 carriers and 10 inspections/crashes — pagination not supported
- FMCSA upstream data unavailable — may return partial or stale data
- Payment failure via x402 — request rejected before processing

## 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 JSON object with count of matching carriers and an array of results, each containing USDOT number, legal name, registration status (Active/Inactive/Pending), and safety history status. When fetchSafetyHistory is enabled, also includes bounded inspection records, linked violations, and crash involvement details.
