## 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-county-business-patterns-lookup-51324ad7
```

Example prompt: Pull the US Census County Business Patterns data for Alameda County, California — FIPS code 06001 — and show me employment, number of establishments, and annual payroll broken down by industry sector.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need official US Census County Business Patterns statistics — employment, establishments, and payroll by NAICS sector — for a specific county identified by its 5-digit FIPS code. Prefer this over state-level or national aggregates when county-level granularity is required. It is ideal for economic research, market sizing, B2B prospecting context, and competitive landscape analysis at the county level. Requires no API key — just pay $0.04 USDC per call via x402.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent FIPS code returns an error or empty sector list
- Truncated response if county has very few industries reported
- Data may lag by 1-2 years as Census releases are not real-time
- Payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient (HTTP 402)
- FIPS codes for territories or non-standard jurisdictions may not be supported

## 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.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the data year, source label ('US Census County Business Patterns'), and an array of industry sectors each containing NAICS code, industry name, employee count, establishment count, and annual payroll in USD. Data reflects the most recent available Census year (e.g. 2022).
