## 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-travel-kit-7c82820d
```

Example prompt: I'm planning a trip to Turkey — can you pull up all the travel essentials in one shot: visa rules, power plugs and voltage, tipping customs, tap water safety, emergency numbers, tourist taxes, SIM options, public holidays, duty-free allowances, currency, and driving rules?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, multi-category travel briefing for a single country and want to avoid making 10-15 separate lookups. It is ideal for travel planning agents that need to brief a user before a trip, covering all practical travel categories at once. Prefer it over single-fact endpoints when the user's query spans more than two categories (e.g., visa + plugs + tipping). It covers 178 countries with government-sourced data, making it reliable for mainstream travel destinations.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported country code returns an error or empty response
- Country not in the 178-country dataset returns a 404 or not-found error
- Stale government data if the updated timestamp is old
- Network timeout from the Render.com host under load
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the response
- Missing required path parameter (country code) results in a routing error

## How this service works

Everything an agent needs to plan a trip to one country, in ONE call: visa requirements, customs duty-free allowances, tipping customs, power plugs and voltage, emergency numbers, tap water safety, SIM/eSIM options, public holidays during the stay, currency and payment culture, tourist taxes, driving side and IDP rules. 195 countries, government-sourced. Cheaper than 15 single calls. Example: /api/v1/kit/travel/JP
