## 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-uk-companies-house-filing-history-api-ed194457
```

Example prompt: Pull up the filing history for UK company number 00445790 — give me the last 10 filings, summary detail only, filtering to just the accounts category.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need programmatic, paginated access to a UK company's complete filing history from Companies House, especially when you need document URLs, category filtering (e.g. only accounts or mortgages), or annotation data. Prefer it over manual Companies House web lookups when building automated due diligence, compliance monitoring, or corporate intelligence pipelines. It is particularly well-suited for agents that need to iterate through thousands of filings using offset pagination or filter to specific regulatory categories.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid company number format (not 1-8 alphanumeric chars) returns INVALID_INPUT before any payment
- Company not found on Companies House register returns 404 or empty result
- Category filter string with invalid characters or format is rejected
- offset exceeding 10000 is rejected by schema validation
- Payment failure via x402 results in 402 response with no data
- Companies House upstream unavailability causes gateway error

## 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

Returns a paginated list of filing history items for the specified UK company, each containing the filing date, form type (e.g. SH03, CS01), category, human-readable description, document URL (linking to the PDF on Companies House), transaction ID, any register annotations, and whether the document was paper-filed. Also includes pagination metadata (total count, offset, has_more, next_offset) and echoes back the applied query parameters.
