## 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 govfiles-company-lookup-api-4856ffe6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the full registration record for Delaware company number 7620463 — I need the officers, filing history, and registered address from the state registry?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you already have a specific company number and jurisdiction code (e.g. from a prior search result) and need the full normalized detail record. It is ideal for due diligence pipelines, KYB (know-your-business) workflows, compliance checks, and enriching business profiles with authoritative state-registry data across all 50 US states under one unified schema.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown jurisdiction_code returns an error — must use supported codes like us_de or us_ca
- Company number not found in the specified jurisdiction returns a not-found error
- Malformed company_number string may return validation error
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the request entirely
- Some jurisdictions may have incomplete or stale data for older entities

## How this service works

## Output

Returns a normalized JSON record for the specified company including entity name, registered addresses, officer names and roles, filing history, and official identifiers — all unified under a single schema regardless of which US state jurisdiction it comes from.
