## 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`):

Example prompt: Can you run an AML risk check on this Bitcoin address — bc1qxy2kgdygjrsqtzq2n0yrf2493p83kkfjhx0wlh — and tell me if it has any exposure to illicit activity or sanctions?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need blockchain-specific AML risk intelligence powered by Chainalysis — the industry-standard data provider for crypto compliance. Prefer this over generic blockchain explorers when you need structured risk scores, sanctions exposure, and compliance-grade signals rather than raw transaction data. Ideal for exchanges, DeFi protocols, payment processors, and fintech apps that must meet KYC/AML regulatory requirements.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed wallet address returns an error
- Unknown or very new addresses may return insufficient data or low-confidence scores
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion at $0.30/call may result in HTTP 402 or 429 errors
- Addresses on unsupported blockchain networks may not return results
- Missing or empty data field in request body causes validation failure
