## 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-work-week-lookup-3decc18a
```

Example prompt: What is the standard work week in Japan — how many days and which days are considered working days?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, authoritative single-field lookup of work week norms for a specific country without needing to scrape or interpret broader labor law documents. Ideal for HR tools, scheduling agents, and relocation workflows where only the work week fact is needed per call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported ISO country code returns an error or empty response
- Country not in the 106-country coverage returns a not-found error
- Network timeout if the Render-hosted server is cold-starting
- Payment failure if x402 USDC payment is not properly handled

## 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 country code, the standard work week details for that country (such as number of working days and which days are worked), and a timestamp indicating when the data was last verified.
