## 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 eckari-lei-entity-profile-lookup-f90a960e
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the full GLEIF profile for the company with LEI HWUPKR0MPOU8FGXBT394 — I need its legal name, registration status, headquarters address, and when its LEI is up for renewal?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a specific LEI and need authoritative, near-live GLEIF entity data — legal name, registration status, addresses, and hierarchy signals — without building a direct GLEIF integration. Preferred over generic company search APIs when the LEI is already known and regulatory-grade corroboration level and conformity flags are required for KYC/KYB or compliance workflows. The x402 micropayment model makes it suitable for per-query agent use without a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed LEI format returns an error
- LEI not found in GLEIF database returns a 404 or empty data response
- Lapsed or deregistered LEIs may return with entity_status INACTIVE or ANNULLED
- Payment failure (x402) if insufficient USDC balance or incorrect payment header
- Rate limiting or network timeout on near-live data fetch from GLEIF

## How this service works

Eckari is the machine-native utility layer for capabilities agents do not already have. Every route is a provider-neutral capability with channel pricing for Eckari account keys and accountless x402 payment.

## Output

A JSON object with a 'data' key containing: BIC codes, LEI, related entity flags (children/parent availability), entity category, legal form code, legal name, other historical names, jurisdiction, registration metadata (status, dates, managing LOU, validation authority, days until renewal, corroboration level), headquarters and legal addresses, entity status, conformity flag, and creation date. Also includes a 'meta' block with source (gleif), API version, and freshness indicator.
