## 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 freetier-agent-api-country-lookup-1a372343
```

Example prompt: What is the capital city, currency, and current local time in Japan? Look it up by country name.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured country metadata — capital, timezone, local time, and currency — from a name or ISO code, especially in agent workflows that require no signup and support x402/USDC micropayment billing. Prefer this over free REST country APIs when you need a pay-per-call model with no API key or account management.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized country name returns an error or empty result
- Ambiguous country name may return unexpected result
- ISO3 codes must be valid 3-letter codes or the query fails
- Non-string or malformed 'q' parameter causes a 400-style error
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) results in 402 response before any data is returned
