Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 clink-forge-uk-new-companies-daily-ccd94495
```

Example prompt: Pull today's batch of newly registered UK companies from Clink Forge — I want the cryptographically signed government data so I can verify the provenance of each record.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a daily snapshot of newly incorporated UK companies with cryptographic provenance proving government origin — ideal for compliance workflows, KYB pipelines, or competitive intelligence where data authenticity must be auditable. Prefer it over scraping Companies House directly (no signature/attestation) or third-party aggregators (no provenance chain). Best suited for agents that can handle x402 micropayments in USDC on Base and need machine-verifiable data without API key management.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not settled — x402 payment required before data is returned
- Insufficient USDC balance — payment fails if wallet lacks $0.02
- Data not yet available — daily feed may not be published if government source is delayed
- Invalid or expired payment header — transaction rejected
- Network timeout — on-chain settlement confirmation delay
- Rate limiting — too many calls in a short window

## How this service works

Pay per call over x402. USDC on Base, no account, no API key. 28 government-sourced data products at $0.001–$0.05 per call, every response signed and provenance-chained.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing an array of newly registered UK company data rows (each with a record ID), the product name and version, row count, a provenance chain (including SHA-256 hash, issuing authority, source government URL, and observation timestamp), a cryptographic attestation (signature, result digest, and signing key ID), and a payment receipt (amount in USD and on-chain settlement reference).
