## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability cms-nursing-home-facility-lookup-b25c8a5d
```

Example prompt: Can you find nursing homes in Florida with at least a 4-star overall rating that are nonprofit — show me up to 5 results?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured CMS nursing home data including star ratings, staffing scores, and ownership type — especially when filtering by state, ownership, or minimum quality rating. Prefer this over manual CMS website searches when building automated elder care research workflows or when you need machine-readable facility data at low cost per call.

## Known failure modes

- No matching facilities found for given filters — returns empty results array with count 0
- Invalid state code returns no results or error
- maxResults capped at 10 regardless of requested value
- CCN not found returns empty result set
- Overly broad query may return truncated results at the 10-facility cap
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks access

## How this service works

No-key evaluation APIs for public data and utilities: business filings, permits, bankruptcy dockets, NPI providers, HTTP status checks, sitemap URL extraction, SEC EDGAR, IRS 990, WHOIS, and validation. Paid x402 access is live.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a count of matching facilities and an array of results, each containing the CMS Certification Number, provider name, overall star rating, and staffing rating. Also includes a setupStatus field indicating whether results were found.
