## 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 jpverify-japanese-company-kyb-pre-check-14f06b30 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you do a KYB pre-check on the Japanese company 'Toyota Motor Corporation' — pull their corporate number, registered address, active/closed status, and any risk flags from Japan's NTA records?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, low-cost ($0.05) official registry pre-check on a Japanese company before investing in full KYB or KYC processes. Ideal for supplier onboarding screening, invoice issuer validation, or business partner due diligence where NTA-sourced corporate number, address, active status, and risk flags are sufficient. Prefer sibling batch endpoint when verifying multiple companies at once.

## Known failure modes

- Company name not found in NTA database — returns no match or low-confidence match evidence
- Corporate number format invalid — returns validation error
- Company is dissolved or closed — status returned as closed with no further risk detail
- Ambiguous company name matches multiple NTA records — returns multiple candidates or flags ambiguity
- NTA data unavailable or service timeout — returns upstream error

## Output

Returns the company's 13-digit corporate number, official registered name (法人名), registered address, active or closed registry status, match evidence explaining how the query was resolved, and risk flags surfaced from NTA data. This is a pre-check, not a full KYC or KYB report.
