## 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 cbs-sbi-code-search-api-e4a450eb
```

Example prompt: Search the Dutch CBS SBI classification for 'hypotheek' and tell me all matching industry codes with their titles and hierarchy levels.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to look up or validate official Dutch CBS SBI industry classification codes for a given business activity keyword. It is ideal for KVK/Chamber of Commerce registration workflows, business data enrichment, compliance checks, or market research on Dutch industry sectors. Prefer this over generic business search APIs when you specifically need the Dutch standard industry taxonomy with hierarchical SBI codes.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for obscure or misspelled query terms — found: false with empty results array
- Query in English may return no matches since CBS SBI titles are in Dutch
- Very broad queries may return a large number of loosely related results
- API may return HTTP 402 if payment is not provided via x402 protocol
- Ambiguous Dutch terms may match unintended industry categories
