## 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 gateway-apiosk-com-data-clean-name-normalizer-111ce8a0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you clean and normalize this company name — 'Mollie B.V.' — and give me its canonical form, any legal suffixes, and a normalized key I can use for deduplication?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to deduplicate, match, or store company or person names in a consistent format. Ideal for ETL pipelines, CRM data cleanup, and entity resolution workflows where raw name strings vary in casing, punctuation, or legal suffix usage. Prefer over manual regex normalization when legal suffix extraction across multiple jurisdictions is needed.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty name field returns an error
- Unrecognized name format may return an empty legal_suffixes array
- Very short or ambiguous strings may produce a low-confidence canonical_name
- Service unavailable returns a non-ok response
- Payment failure (x402) causes request to be rejected before processing

## How this service works

Normalize person/company name casing, diacritics keying and legal suffixes such as B.V., GmbH, Ltd and LLC.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with: ok (boolean success flag), canonical_name (cleaned, properly-cased canonical form of the name), legal_suffixes (array of detected legal entity suffixes like 'B.V.', 'Inc.', 'LLC'), and normalized_key (lowercased, punctuation-stripped key suitable for deduplication or matching).
