## 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 country-info-lookup-3ce3bf18
```

Example prompt: What are the official details for Germany — capital, population, currency, languages, calling code, and neighbouring countries?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, multi-field country metadata in a single call — especially official name, ISO codes, capital, population, currencies, languages, calling codes, TLD, timezones, neighbours, and flag. It is backed by the well-known REST Countries API and costs only $0.01 per call, making it ideal for enriching user records, building localization features, or populating country-picker UIs without managing your own data source.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or misspelled country name returns an error or empty result
- Ambiguous input (e.g. 'Georgia' as country vs US state) may resolve incorrectly
- API upstream (REST Countries) downtime causes lookup failure
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the request

## How this service works
