## 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 gocreative-census-business-patterns-by-state-ac1fb2e3
```

Example prompt: Pull the US Census County Business Patterns data for California so I can see which industries have the most employees, establishments, and highest annual payroll.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need official US government business statistics (employee counts, establishment counts, payroll) broken down by industry sector for a specific US state, sourced directly from the US Census County Business Patterns dataset. Prefer this over scraped or third-party business data when accuracy and official sourcing matter.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized state code returns an error
- State code passed as full name instead of abbreviation may fail
- Truncated or incomplete response if upstream Census API is unavailable
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient on Base

## How this service works

Keyless, pay-per-call compliance & regulated-data API for AI agents — OFAC wallet + sanctions/PEP + KYB screening, SEC filings, FRED economics, FDA recalls, federal awards, plus continuous monitoring. USDC on Base/Solana via x402, native MCP. No API key, no signup.
