## 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-f94e754b
```

Example prompt: I'm planning a trip to the UAE — can you pull up everything I need to know in one shot: visa rules, customs limits, tipping norms, power plugs, emergency numbers, tap water safety, SIM options, public holidays, currency, tourist taxes, and driving rules?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs comprehensive travel planning data for a single country and wants to avoid making 10–15 separate API calls for individual facts. It is ideal for pre-trip briefings, travel itinerary assistants, or any workflow that needs visa, customs, power, health, telecom, and local norms data together. Prefer this over the sibling single-fact endpoints when breadth matters more than depth on one specific category, and when minimizing API call count and cost is a priority ($0.02 vs. up to $0.30 for equivalent individual lookups).

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported country code returns an error or empty facts object
- Country not in the 178-country coverage returns a not-found response
- Stale data if government sources haven't been refreshed recently (check `updated` field)
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Network timeout from Render.com cold-start if service is idle
- Partial data if a specific fact category is unavailable for the requested country

## 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 up to 11 distinct travel fact categories for the requested country: visa requirements, customs duty-free allowances, tipping customs, power plug types and voltage, emergency contact numbers, tap water safety status, SIM/eSIM availability and options, public holidays relevant to the stay period, currency and payment culture, tourist tax rates, and driving side plus international driving permit (IDP) requirements. Data is government-sourced and covers 178 countries. Response includes a `country` field, a `facts` object with categorized sub-fields, a `kit` summary string, and an `updated` timestamp.
