## 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 clearcheck-federal-litigation-docket-search-e64adae7
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether Acme Corp is currently named as a party in any open federal lawsuits? Search across all courts and return up to 20 dockets.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to quickly determine whether a named company or individual appears in federal court records via the RECAP/CourtListener archive, especially for due diligence, compliance screening, or counterparty risk checks. Prefer it over general web search when you need structured docket data with open/closed status, filing dates, and court identifiers rather than news articles or summaries.

## Known failure modes

- Party name too generic — returns too many unrelated matches
- Party not found — returns empty docket list with zero match count
- Court ID invalid — query may fail or return no results
- RECAP data lag — very recent filings may not appear
- Rate limit or payment failure — endpoint returns 402 or error
- Ambiguous party name matching multiple distinct entities

## How this service works

Is this party in federal litigation? RECAP docket search with case, court, filing date and active/closed status.

## Output

Returns a structured report including a verdict string (e.g. litigation found or clear), counts of open/closed/bankruptcy dockets, a list of matching dockets with case name, court, docket number, filing date, parties, assigned judge, nature of suit, cause, law firms, and age in days, plus reasons supporting the verdict, a disclaimer, and a timestamp.
