## 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 cqc-care-locations-england-fcea9e32
```

Example prompt: Can you find all CQC-regulated care homes in the SW1A outward code area that specialise in dementia care — show me the first 25 results including their addresses, websites, and latest inspection dates?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, filterable data about CQC-regulated care locations in England specifically — including filtering by region, postcode, service type, specialism, local authority, or inspection date. Prefer this over general web search when you need machine-readable records with CQC metadata, provider linkage, and pagination for bulk lookups. Not suitable for care locations in Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland, which are regulated by different bodies.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid date format for latest_check_date_after or latest_check_date_before returns a validation error
- Page number exceeding 100,000 or per_page exceeding 100 returns a parameter error
- No matching records returns an empty data array with count 0
- Misspelled region or local_authority names may return zero results silently
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC balance returns an x402 payment required error

## How this service works

Regulated care locations in England (CQC). One call returns one page of matching records as JSON (25 by default, per_page up to 100) with the total count and the last refresh time; the query parameters filter the records.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an 'ok' boolean, a 'data' array of up to 100 care location records per page (each containing location_id, provider_id, name, also_known_as, address, postcode, outward_code, website, service_types, latest_check_date, specialisms, provider_name, local_authority, region, and cqc_url), plus a 'meta' object with total record count and last dataset refresh timestamp.
