## 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 bic-swift-code-validator-2aa41804
```

Example prompt: Can you check if the BIC code DEUTDEFF is valid and tell me what country and location it corresponds to?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need lightweight, pay-per-call BIC/SWIFT validation with no API key setup, especially in automated payment pipelines, fintech onboarding flows, or invoice processing where you need to verify bank codes on demand without a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed BIC format returns valid: false
- Missing BIC parameter may return an error or empty response
- Non-existent but correctly formatted BICs may return valid: true (format-only validation)
- Network or payment failure returns HTTP 402 if USDC payment not processed

## How this service works

Public data and utility APIs paid per call in USDC on Base (x402). No accounts, no API keys. 174 routes: crypto/equity data, onchain reads, DNS/email/security intel, geo/weather, x402 payment diagnostics, dev utilities and more.

## Output
