## 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 contractor-trade-license-search-tx-fl-or-ct-49877db1

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search contractor or trade license records across Texas (TDLR), Florida (DBPR), Oregon, or Connecticut by name, profession, or status. Prefer this over direct-lookup endpoints when you don't have an exact license number and need to search by partial name or profession. Use the sibling lookup endpoint when you already have a license number.

## Known failure modes

- No matching records found for the given query or name — returns empty result set
- Invalid state code (only tx, fl, or, ct supported) — returns validation error
- Missing required parameters — returns 400 bad request
- Rate limit or payment failure for x402 micropayment — returns 402 Payment Required
- Network timeout or upstream data source unavailable — returns 5xx error
