## 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-ed0064e4
```

Example prompt: Give me the full travel briefing for Canada — visa rules, customs allowances, tipping norms, power plugs, emergency numbers, tap water safety, SIM options, upcoming public holidays, currency and payment culture, tourist taxes, and driving rules.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs a broad pre-trip briefing for a single country and would otherwise need to make 10-15 separate fact-lookup calls. It is far more efficient than calling individual fact endpoints for visa, customs, tipping, power, emergency numbers, tap water, SIM, holidays, currency, tourist tax, and driving rules separately. Prefer it when the user wants a comprehensive overview rather than one specific fact.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or invalid country code returns an error — only ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes for the 178 supported countries are accepted
- Country code not in the 178-country coverage list returns a not-found or unsupported error
- Render.com hosting cold-start may cause occasional latency spikes on first call after idle period
- Stale public holiday data if the government source has not been updated for the current year

## 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. 178 countries, government-sourced. Cheaper than 15 single calls. Example: /api/v1/kit/travel/JP

## Output

A structured JSON object containing a 'kit' summary string, a 'facts' object with detailed fields for visa requirements, customs duty-free allowances, tipping customs, power plug types and voltage, emergency contact numbers, tap water safety status, SIM/eSIM options, public holidays during the stay, currency and payment culture, tourist taxes, and driving side and IDP rules, plus the country name and a government-sourced data timestamp.
