## 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-vat-number-validation-api-b1a67531
```

Example prompt: Can you validate this VAT number — DE123456789 — and tell me whether it's a legitimate registered business?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pay-per-call, keyless VAT number validation with no signup required, particularly when building AI agent workflows that need to verify European business tax IDs on demand. Ideal for compliance automation, invoice verification, or KYB workflows where per-call USDC micropayments via x402 are acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed VAT number format returns an error or invalid status
- VAT number not found in registry returns not-registered result
- Unsupported country prefix may not be recognized
- Payment failure via x402 results in 402 response before data is returned
- Network timeout or upstream registry unavailability causes service error

## How this service works

## Output

Returns the validity status of the provided VAT number, along with any associated business registration details such as company name and country, confirming whether the number is active and legitimate for tax purposes.
