## 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 global-sanctions-name-screening-9a5b8704 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you screen 'Dmitry Ivanov' as an individual against the global sanctions lists — UN, OFAC, EU, and UK — and let me know if there are any matches?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need fast, multi-list sanctions screening across the four major global sanctions regimes (UN, OFAC, EU, UK) in a single call for a single individual, entity, vessel, or aircraft. It is ideal for automated compliance workflows, KYC onboarding pipelines, and transaction screening where per-call cost ($0.02 USDC) is acceptable and batch processing is not required.

## Known failure modes

- Name too short (under 3 characters) — validation error returned
- Invalid type enum value — request rejected
- Unknown or unreachable sanctions data source — service error
- Network timeout or upstream data feed unavailable
- Ambiguous name with many partial matches may return large result sets
