## 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 canon-geography-lookup-25cf38e3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What geographic information can you give me about Tokyo, Japan?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need geographic information for a named location and are willing to pay $0.05 USDC per call on Base; however, given the mismatch between the service branding (fact-checking/academic research) and the endpoint path (/api/geography), treat results with caution and prefer established geocoding APIs for production use.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized location string returns error or empty result
- Payment failure on Base network causes 402 rejection
- Ambiguous location names may return unexpected results
- Missing required location field returns validation error
