## 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 globalrules-country-alcohol-sales-hours-lookup-6ae400a2
```

Example prompt: What are the legal alcohol sales hours in the UAE — I need to know when bars and shops are allowed to sell alcohol there.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a single, specific regulatory fact (alcohol sales hours) for one country cheaply ($0.01 per call) without pulling the full country profile. Ideal for travel agents, compliance tools, hospitality apps, or event planners that need a targeted regulatory answer rather than a broad data dump.

## Known failure modes

- Country code not in the 98 supported countries — returns 404 or error response
- Field name typo or unsupported field — returns error
- Data may lag behind very recent regulatory changes
- Service hosted on Render free tier may experience cold-start latency or downtime

## How this service works

One specific fact for one country: VAT/GST rate, public holidays by country, visa requirements for travelers, tipping customs, power plug type, minimum wage, corporate tax, digital nomad visa, customs duty-free allowance and more. 138 countries, 55 fields, verified sources. Example: /api/v1/country/JP/vat

## Output

A JSON object containing the country code (AE), the alcohol_sales_hours field value describing the regulated hours for alcohol sales in that country, and an updated timestamp indicating when the data was last verified.
