## 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-tourist-tax-lookup-aed9caec
```

Example prompt: What's the tourist tax rate in France? Look it up from GlobalRules so I get the verified, up-to-date figure.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single specific fact (tourist tax) for one country at the lowest cost ($0.01). Prefer it over the full-country profile endpoint when you only need one field and want to minimize latency and cost. Use it instead of web scraping when you need a verified, structured answer rather than parsing unstructured HTML.

## Known failure modes

- Country code not found — returns 404 if the ISO code is not among the 98 supported countries
- Field not applicable — some countries may have null or empty tourist_tax values if no such tax exists
- Service unavailable — hosted on render.com free tier, may have cold-start latency or downtime
- Payment failure — x402 payment of $0.01 USDC required; incorrect payment results in 402 error
- Invalid field name — requesting an unsupported field name returns an 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

A JSON object containing the tourist tax field for the requested country, including the rate or rules and a timestamp indicating when the data was last verified. Typically includes the country code and the specific tourist_tax value with any relevant notes.
