## 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-api-032b380e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the BIN 411111 for me and tell me what bank issued it, what card type it is, and which network it belongs to?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-use BIN or IP lookup without managing a subscription to a dedicated BIN database provider. Suitable for fraud checks, payment routing decisions, or IP geolocation enrichment in automated agent workflows where sporadic lookups make per-request pricing more economical than a monthly plan.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized BIN number returns empty or error result
- Malformed IP address returns validation error
- BIN database may lack coverage for some regional or newer card issuers
- Private or reserved IP ranges may return no geolocation data
- Rate limiting or payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient
