# BUY SIGNAL Portugal — NIF Buy Signal Lookup > BUY SIGNAL Portugal — NIF Buy Signal Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from buy-signal-portugal.onrender.com, paid per call via x402, $0.03/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-16). Look up a Portuguese company by NIF to retrieve official Portugal 2030 funded-project facts and rule-based purchasing inferences. ## Facts - Endpoint: GET https://buy-signal-portugal.onrender.com/company/507168216/buy-signal?utm_source=zero.xyz - Price: $0.03/call - Payment: x402 - Status: unknown - Last checked: 2026-10-16 - Activations on Zero: 0 - Tags: x402 - Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/buy-signal-portugal-nif-buy-signal-lookup-43aa09ae - Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_mgaQfWgWoc9Llpz9C_MUi Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently. ## 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 buy-signal-portugal-nif-buy-signal-lookup-43aa09ae ``` Example prompt: Pull the BUY SIGNAL Portugal report for NIF 507168216 — I want to see what EU-funded projects they have and what purchasing categories can be inferred from them. ## When to prefer this Use this endpoint when you need official Portugal 2030 EU-funded project data enriched with purchasing inferences for a specific Portuguese company identified by NIF. Prefer it over generic company databases when your goal is B2B sales research, procurement signal detection, or investment due diligence specifically tied to EU-funded expansion projects in Portugal. It is not a live feed and not suitable for real-time procurement tracking. ## Known failure modes - NIF not found in Portugal 2030 dataset — returns status other than FOUND with empty signals array - Invalid NIF format (not exactly 9 digits) — rejected by input validation - Payment not processed (x402 protocol failure) — endpoint returns 402 before data is delivered - Data is snapshot-based, not live — project status may lag official records by weeks - Purchase inferences are heuristic/rule-based, not confirmed orders — may produce false positives ## How this service works Look up Portuguese beneficiaries by NIF. Get official Portugal 2030 funded-project facts and clearly labelled purchasing inferences. 0.03 USDC per lookup. ## Output A JSON object containing the company name, NIF, count of funded projects found, and an array of signals. Each signal includes: official project facts (description, source URL, intervention field, source date), a signal object (funding amount in EUR, project start/end dates, score, strength), purchase inferences (rule-based category matches with matched terms and confidence levels), a commercial assessment (commercial usefulness classification), API guardrail labels, and freshness metadata about the data snapshot. ## Request schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "required": [ "input" ], "properties": { "input": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type", "method" ], "properties": { "type": { "type": "string", "const": "http" }, "method": { "enum": [ "GET", "HEAD", "DELETE" ], "type": "string" }, "pathParams": { "type": "object" }, "queryParams": { "type": "object", "required": [ "nif" ], "properties": { "nif": { "type": "string", "pattern": "^[0-9]{9}$", "description": "9-digit Portuguese company NIF/NIPC path parameter." } } } }, "additionalProperties": false }, "output": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type" ], "properties": { "type": { "type": "string" }, "example": { "type": "object", "required": [ "status", "nif", "signals", "count" ], "properties": { "nif": { "type": "string" }, "count": { "type": "integer" }, "status": { "type": "string" }, "company": { "type": [ "string", "null" ] }, "signals": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "object", "properties": { "facts": { "type": "object", "description": "Official project text, provenance and source reporting date." }, "signal": { "type": "object", "description": "Funding and scheduled dates are source facts; score and strength are heuristic, not purchase probabilities." }, "operation_code": { "type": "string" }, "purchase_inferences": { "type": "array", "items": { "type": "object" }, "description": "Rule-based category matches with matched terms and confidence; not confirmed orders." }, "commercial_assessment": { "type": "object", "properties": { "commercial_usefulness": { "enum": [ "RESEARCH_LEAD", "HISTORICAL_CONTEXT", "UNKNOWN" ], "type": "string" }, "current_purchase_opportunity": { "enum": [ "UNKNOWN" ], "type": "string" } … (truncated) ``` ## Response schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "json", "example": { "nif": "507168216", "count": 2, "status": "FOUND", "company": "EXLABESA EXTRUSION COIMBRA, LDA", "signals": [ { "_api": { "product": "BUY SIGNAL Portugal", "version": "0.7.1", "guardrail": "Purchase categories are inferred signals, not confirmed purchase orders.", "facts_and_inferences_separated": true }, "facts": { "source_url": "https://transparencia.gov.pt/pt/fundos-europeus/pt2030/beneficiarios-projetos/projeto/COMPETE2030-FEDER-03487100/", "dataset_url": "https://portugal2030.pt/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2026/09/PT2030-Lista-Operacoes-a-Publicar_31-ago-2026.xlsx", "description": "A Exlabesa implementa em Soure, Coimbra, um investimento para a expansão da capacidade produtiva de 5.500 para 12.000 toneladas anuais (+243%) através de linha de extrusão 12\" de 45 MN com tecnologia short-stroke e automação robotizada.
