## 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-metadata-lookup-56469b32
```

Example prompt: What's the currency, capital, calling code, and official languages for Japan? Just give me all the country metadata you can find.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured country reference data — currency, capital, calling code, languages, or flag — from a country name or ISO code. Ideal for localizing applications, enriching user profiles with geographic data, or validating international phone prefixes. Prefer this over general web search when you need machine-readable, structured metadata rather than prose descriptions.

## Known failure modes

- Unrecognized or misspelled country name returns an error or empty result
- Ambiguous input (e.g. 'Congo') may resolve to unexpected country variant
- Territories or disputed regions may not be included
- Non-standard ISO codes return an error

## How this service works

Country metadata — Name/ISO code → currency, capital, calling code, languages, flag.

## Output

A structured object containing the country's official name, ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 and alpha-3 codes, currency name and code, capital city, international calling code, official languages, and flag emoji or URL.
