## 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 india-pincode-lookup-81241f60
```

Example prompt: What state and district does PIN code 110001 belong to, and which post offices are in that area?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need fast, deterministic, LLM-free resolution of Indian PIN codes to their geographic and postal details (state, district, post offices). Prefer it over general geocoding APIs when you specifically need Indian postal administrative data and post office listings rather than lat/lng coordinates.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent PIN code returns a 4xx error with no charge
- PIN code with fewer or more than 6 digits triggers a 4xx bad-input response
- Upstream postal data source unavailability may cause temporary lookup failures
- Non-numeric or malformed pincode strings return 4xx validation errors

## How this service works

Which venues actually pay AI agents right now. Live open-task counts pulled from public venue APIs (Taskmarket, TaskBounty), plus curated, dated, sourced verdicts on other venues (Virtuals ACP, x402 Bazaar, Superteam Earn, Algora, AgentPact, bug-bounty platforms). All tools are deterministic and LLM-free. Bad input returns 4xx and is not settled (no charge). Upstream sources are named in each response.

## Output

A JSON object containing the PIN code, the Indian state it belongs to, the district, and an array of post office names within that PIN code area.
