## 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-jurisdictions-list-a6808bb4
```

Example prompt: Before I search for companies, can you pull up the list of jurisdiction codes available in GovFiles so I know which ones I can use as filters?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover valid jurisdiction filter values before making a GovFiles company search request, or when building a UI that needs to enumerate supported geographic scopes. Prefer this over hardcoding jurisdiction codes, as available jurisdictions may change as datasets are loaded or removed.

## Known failure modes

- No jurisdiction data loaded — returns empty list or 404 if the dataset is not yet populated
- Service unavailable — 5xx error if the Vercel deployment is down or cold-starting
- Payment required — 402 error if the x402 payment header is missing or invalid
- Unexpected schema change — response structure may vary if the API is under active development (indicated by git branch in hostname)

## How this service works

List the jurisdiction codes currently loaded and queryable (e.g. us_de, us_ca). Use these to scope a company search with the `jurisdictions` filter.

## Output

An array or list of jurisdiction code strings (e.g. us_de, us_ca) representing the geographic scopes currently loaded and queryable in the GovFiles API, which can be passed as filter values in subsequent company search requests.
