## 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-retirement-age-lookup-a4195724
```

Example prompt: What's the official retirement age in Germany? I need the verified number from GlobalRules — just the single fact for DE.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single, verified, structured fact about a specific country's retirement age without having to parse unstructured web content or maintain your own regulatory database. Ideal for compliance tools, HR systems, relocation advisors, or research agents that need authoritative per-country labor law data at low cost ($0.01 per call). Prefer over web scraping when you need a clean, machine-readable value with a known update timestamp.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported country code returns 404 or error — only 106 countries are covered
- Invalid field name in URL path returns an error if 'retirement_age' field is not in the 54 supported fields
- Service may be slow to respond on first call due to cold-start on Render free tier
- Data may be stale for countries with recent policy changes despite 'verified sources' claim
- No authentication error expected as payment is handled via x402 protocol prior to request

## 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 (e.g. 'DE'), the retirement age value for that country, and an 'updated' timestamp indicating when the data was last verified from official sources.
