## 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 crunchbase-funding-history-api-gocreative-fb6ef467
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the full funding history for Stripe — all the rounds, when they were announced, who led each one, and the top investors overall?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, historical funding-round data including investor names and round types for a specific company, accessed by company name. Prefer this over general web search when you need clean, structured investor data for downstream processing, VC prospecting, or competitive intelligence workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Company name not found in Crunchbase database — returns empty or error response
- Ambiguous company name matches multiple entities — may return wrong company
- Private or stealth companies may have limited or no funding data
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol — HTTP 402 returned
- Outdated data if Crunchbase source hasn't been recently synced
