## 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 brand-dev-api-brand-dev-transaction-identifier-488164bc
```

Example prompt: I have a transaction on my bank statement that just says 'AMZN MKTP US*2K4LM9A3' — can you identify what brand or company this belongs to and get me their logo and colors?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a raw transaction title or bank statement description string and need to resolve it to a known brand with logo, colors, and company metadata. Ideal for fintech apps, expense management tools, or payment dashboards that want to display recognizable brand assets alongside transaction entries. Prefer this over the domain-based Retrieve endpoint when you only have a transaction string and no known domain or company name.

## Known failure modes

- Transaction title too ambiguous or abbreviated to match a known brand — returns no match or low-confidence result
- Unknown or obscure merchant not in Brand.dev database — returns empty or null brand data
- Malformed or missing transaction title parameter — returns 400 bad request
- Rate limit exceeded — returns 429 error
- Service unavailable — returns 5xx error

## How this service works

Endpoint specially designed for platforms that want to identify transaction data by the transaction title.

## Output

Returns brand metadata matched to the transaction title, including company name, domain, logo URLs, brand colors, and other company information that Brand.dev has on record for the identified merchant.
