## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability eckari-uk-company-profile-lookup-4eace2e3
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the Companies House profile for UK company number 00445790 — I want to see its current status, registered address, SIC codes, and next accounts due date?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, live Companies House data for a specific UK company and have the company number. It is preferable to web scraping or third-party aggregators because data is sourced directly from Companies House and is marked as live freshness. Choose this over the accounts-specific sibling endpoint when you need the full company profile rather than just filing/accounts status.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent company number returns an error or empty data
- Company number formatted incorrectly (e.g. missing leading zeros) may fail to match
- Dissolved or struck-off companies may return limited or historical data
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) if account balance is insufficient
- UK-only scope — non-UK company numbers will not be found

## 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 JSON object containing the company's full registered profile: company name, type (e.g. plc, ltd), active status, SIC codes with descriptions, registered office address (including single-line formatted version), date of creation, accounts filing dates (last and next), confirmation statement dates, previous company names with effective dates, a flags object indicating available sub-resources (charges, officers, insolvency, etc.), and metadata indicating the data source (Companies House), version, and freshness.
