## 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 invoket-eu-ai-act-article-lookup-15a15c65
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the full text of Article 13 of the EU AI Act — the CELEX number is 32024R1689 — and tell me what it says and whether coverage is complete?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the authoritative, versioned text of a specific EU AI Act article identified by CELEX number and article ID, especially when provenance and freshness metadata matter for compliance or legal research workflows. Prefer this over generic web scraping when you need structured, machine-readable legal text with version tracking.

## Known failure modes

- Article not found for the given CELEX/article combination — returns an error or empty data object
- Invalid date format causes a failed lookup
- CELEX number does not correspond to the EU AI Act — may return unexpected or empty results
- Coverage flag may be false if article text is incomplete or partially available
- Payment not settled (x402 flow) — call does not proceed without USDC payment

## How this service works

Before your agent advises on EU compliance or cites EU law: check an act or article is in force at a given date, by CELEX or ELI identifier — consolidated text, status, validity dates and the staggered date it becomes APPLICABLE (in force is not the same thing: the AI Act is in force since 2024-08-01, but its Article 50 only applies from 2026-08-02), from the official EUR-Lex dataset. Covers key EU digital and financial acts (GDPR, DSA, AI Act, MiCA and more).

## Output

Returns the full article text, its label, CELEX identifier, legal state (etat), version details (version ID and start date), a flag indicating whether coverage of the article is complete, and provenance metadata including the data source, freshness kind, and when it was fetched.
