## 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 ipinfo-via-locus-x402-7f0edc0e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Look up the geolocation, ASN, and privacy details for the IP address 203.0.113.42 — I want to know what country and city it's in, who owns the network, and whether it's a VPN or proxy.

## When to prefer this

Prefer this endpoint when you need a pay-per-use IP intelligence lookup without a subscription, especially when you require a combination of geolocation, ASN, privacy detection, and carrier data in a single call. It is ideal for fraud detection pipelines, access control, content personalization, and network auditing where you pay only for what you use via the x402 micropayment protocol.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid IP format returns an error or empty data object
- Private/reserved IP ranges (e.g. 192.168.x.x) may return no useful geolocation
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance prevents the call from completing
- Rate limits or quota exhaustion may result in 402 or 429 responses
- The 'me' shortcut depends on correct caller IP forwarding by the x402 gateway

## How this service works

IP intelligence — geolocation, ASN, privacy detection, carrier data, and hosting identification.

## Output

A JSON object containing IP intelligence data including geolocation fields (country, region, city, coordinates, timezone), ASN and network ownership details, privacy/proxy/VPN detection flags, carrier information for mobile IPs, and hosting/data-center identification. The response also includes payment settlement metadata and a request ID for tracking.
