## 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 california-dre-real-estate-license-lookup-e0e9ba77
```

Example prompt: Can you check the California DRE license status for license ID 01917204 and tell me if it's active, when it expires, and whether there's any disciplinary history?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify or look up California-specific real estate license information from the official DRE database. It is the authoritative source for CA DRE license status, expiration, disciplinary history, and responsible broker relationships. Prefer this over general web searches when you need structured, machine-readable license data for compliance checks, due diligence, or agent verification workflows. For other states' real estate licenses, use a different state-specific endpoint.

## Known failure modes

- License ID not found — no record returned for an invalid or non-existent 8-digit ID
- Name search returns zero results if the name doesn't match any DRE record exactly
- Ambiguous name search returns too many results without sufficient filtering
- Optional city parameter not provided, leading to a large result set
- DRE source website temporarily unavailable, causing lookup failure
- Malformed license ID (not 8 digits) rejected by the API

## How this service works

California DRE real estate licence lookup (official public licence records): by licence ID get licence type, name, mailing address, status, expiration and issue dates, former names, responsible broker, disciplinary/public comments; or search by licensee/company name (optional city) for matching licence IDs, names, licence types and cities.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the license holder's name, license ID, license type (e.g. SALESPERSON, BROKER), current status (e.g. LICENSED), issue date, expiration date, mailing address, responsible broker details (name, address, license ID), any former names, disciplinary or public comments, and a link to the official DRE source page. For name searches, returns a list of matching records with license IDs, names, license types, and cities.
