## 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 bin-ip-checker-a31c7487 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Check the BIN 424242 and the IP address 203.0.113.42 — I need to know the issuing bank, card network, card type, and where that IP is geolocated.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a combined BIN and IP lookup in a single paid call, particularly for payment fraud pre-screening, card routing, or transaction enrichment workflows. Prefer it over free alternatives when you need reliability and are already operating in an x402 micropayment context.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized BIN returns no match or error
- Malformed IP address returns validation error
- Private/reserved IP ranges may return no geolocation data
- BIN database may not have entries for newer or regional card programs
- Request missing required fields returns 400 bad request
