## 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`):

```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, cheap ($0.01) single-field lookup of visa requirements for a specific country without needing full travel advisory detail. It is ideal for agents that need to quickly answer 'do I need a visa for country X' using a structured, machine-readable response. Prefer alternatives if you need visa requirements broken down by specific passport nationality rather than common passport holders, or if you need richer consular/embassy detail.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported country code returns 404 or empty result
- Country not among the 98 supported countries returns an error
- Stale or unverified data if the source hasn't been refreshed recently
- Network timeout from the Render-hosted service under cold start conditions
- Malformed country code (e.g. 3-letter instead of 2-letter ISO) causes a 400 or no-match error

## 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

Returns a JSON object with the country code, the visa requirement applicable to common passport holders (e.g. visa-free, visa on arrival, e-visa required, visa required), and a timestamp indicating when the data was last verified.
