## 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 crustdata-withzero-xyz-crustdata-company-identify-normalize-cd05e122 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: I need to identify and normalize the company record for 'openai.com' using Crustdata — use exact match so I can then enrich their account profile.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint as the first step in any Crustdata account enrichment or people search workflow when you have a company domain, name, LinkedIn company URL, or Crustdata ID and need to resolve it to a canonical Crustdata company record. Prefer this over direct enrichment when the company identity is ambiguous or when normalizing mixed-format inputs across a list.

## Known failure modes

- No company found for the given domain or name — Crustdata returns empty data array
- Invalid input type (e.g. non-string domain) — schema validation error before upstream call
- Upstream Crustdata API unavailable — proxy returns 5xx error
- Exceeds maxItems limit of 25 per field — request rejected with validation error
- Payment settlement failure — USDC charge not completed, call not forwarded

## How this service works

Core workflow route: normalize company inputs from domains, names, professional-network company URLs, or Crustdata IDs before account enrichment or people search. Minimum-charge route: $0.01 on successful upstream calls.

## Output

Returns the raw Crustdata JSON company record(s) matched to the input identifiers, along with billing metadata including API credits consumed, USDC micro-units settled, and the minimum call charge applied.
