## 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-whois-lookup-a84cd28b
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the WHOIS record for openai.com and tell me who registered it, when it expires, and who the registrar is?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to look up domain registration metadata (owner, registrar, expiry, name servers) without requiring API key signup. Ideal for pay-per-call agent workflows using x402/USDC on Base. Prefer over manual WHOIS tools when automation and low per-call cost matter.

## Known failure modes

- Domain not found or unregistered — empty or null WHOIS response
- Invalid domain format — malformed input returns an error
- Rate limit or payment failure — x402 payment not accepted
- WHOIS privacy protection enabled — registrant details redacted
- Network timeout reaching upstream WHOIS servers

## 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 WHOIS registration data for the queried domain, including registrar name, registrant contact info (if public), registration and expiration dates, and name server records. Paid via USDC on Base at $0.01 per call with no API key required.
