## 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 eu-sanctions-list-lookup-api-d402939e
```

Example prompt: Can you check if 'Vladislav Surkov' appears on any EU sanctions lists and tell me what category they fall under?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a lightweight, pay-per-call EU sanctions screening solution without a subscription, especially useful for low-volume or sporadic compliance checks. Prefer this over full KYC platforms when you only need sanctions list lookup (not identity document verification or full AML workflows) and want crypto-native micropayment billing via USDC on Base.

## Known failure modes

- Missing 'name' query parameter returns a validation error
- Name not found returns match:false with no matched object
- Network timeout or upstream data source unavailability
- Payment not processed (x402 payment required) returns 402 status
- Ambiguous name may return low-confidence partial match

## How this service works

Pay $0.01 USDC per call to validate IBANs, EU VAT numbers and Dutch postcodes, and to query CBS housing, company, domain and EU sanctions data on Base Mainnet.

## Output

A JSON object indicating whether the queried name matched an EU sanctions list entry, the matched name and type (person or entity), the political/criminal category of the match, the total list size searched, and a confidence level (e.g. high/medium/low).
