## 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 japanese-company-data-lookup-d43da8dd
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the official company details for Toyota Motor Corporation using its Japanese corporate number 4120001004566?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, registry-sourced data about Japanese corporations — particularly for KYC, vendor due diligence, compliance checks, or business partner verification in Japan. Prefer this over web-scraping or unverified sources when you need a cryptographic audit trail. For other countries, use the appropriate country-specific sibling endpoints (e.g. Austrian Firmenbuch lookup for Austria).

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent corporate number returns no results or 404
- Company name search may return multiple matches requiring disambiguation
- Non-Japanese companies or individuals not found in this registry
- Malformed 13-digit number (wrong length or format) rejected with validation error
- Rate limiting or payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient for x402 micropayment

## How this service works

The trust layer for AI agents — 250+ independently tested data capabilities across 27 countries. Execute capabilities via REST, MCP, A2A, or x402 micropayments. Every call returns an audit record with cryptographic chain hashing.

## Output

Returns official Japanese corporate registry data including the company's registered name (in Japanese and romanized), 13-digit corporate number, registered address, corporate type (e.g. kabushiki kaisha), registration date, update history, and current status. Each response includes a cryptographic audit record with chain hashing for verification.
