## 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 company-verify-eu-vat-gleif-lei-uk-companies-house-fc3d60f0
```

Example prompt: Can you verify the German company with VAT number DE811569869 — I need its legal name, VAT validity, LEI status, jurisdiction, and direct parent?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify a business entity's legitimacy or gather official registration data for KYC, compliance, or due diligence purposes. It is ideal when you have a EU VAT number, an LEI code, a UK company number, or a company name and want authoritative registry data from VIES, GLEIF, or UK Companies House in a single call, without needing separate API keys for each registry.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed VAT number returns a validation error
- Unknown LEI code returns not found
- Company name search returns empty results if no match found
- UK company number not found in Companies House returns 404-style error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request
- VIES or GLEIF registry may be temporarily unavailable causing upstream errors

## How this service works

Keyless pay-per-call APIs for AI agents: 30 tools across compliance, trade, safety, web and data. Pay per call with USDC on Base via x402. No account, no API key.

## Output

A JSON object containing the verification results from whichever registries were queried: EU VAT validity (VIES), GLEIF legal entity details (name, LEI status, jurisdiction, company number, direct parent), and/or UK Companies House profile (company name, status, incorporation date, SIC codes, registered address) — depending on which query parameter was supplied.
