## 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 irish-companies-registration-office-cro-search-dc06811d
```

Example prompt: Can you look up 'Ryanair' on the Irish companies register and tell me its CRO number, current status, registered address, and NACE code? Return up to 5 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to look up official details of a company registered in Ireland (Republic of Ireland) specifically, using either the company's name or its CRO registration number. Prefer this over generic web search when you need structured, authoritative data (status, address, NACE, filing dates) from the official Irish Companies Registration Office. Not suitable for UK, Northern Ireland, or other jurisdictions.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for the query — company name or number not in the CRO register
- Invalid limit parameter (outside 1-10 range) — API may reject or clamp
- Stale data — register is a daily snapshot with 24h cache, so very recent changes may not appear
- Query too generic — may return unrelated companies with similar names
- Company number format incorrect — must be digits only for number-based lookup

## How this service works

Irish company registry search on CRO open data (opendata.cro.ie, daily snapshot of the Companies Registration Office register). Query: ?q=ryanair (full-text name search) or ?q=249885 (company number), optional limit (1-10, default 3). Returns company number, name, status, type, registration and dissolution dates, registered address, NACE code, last annual return and accounts dates. Company data only. CC-BY 4.0. 24h cache.

## Output

A list of up to 10 matching Irish companies (default 3), each containing: CRO company number, company name, status (e.g. Normal/Dissolved), company type, registration date, dissolution date (if applicable), registered address, NACE industry code, date of last annual return, and date of last accounts filed.
