## 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-verification-477524c9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you verify that 株式会社ソニー is a currently active company in Japan using its corporate number 4010401057660 — I need to confirm it's registered with the NTA before we proceed with the contract.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify a single Japanese company against the authoritative NTA corporate registry, especially when you have a corporate number (法人番号) to anchor the lookup. Prefer this over the batch endpoint for one-off verifications, and over generic business databases when Japan-specific NTA authoritative data is required for compliance or KYB purposes.

## Known failure modes

- No matching company found in NTA registry — returns empty match with low confidence
- Invalid or malformed 13-digit corporate number — returns validation error
- Company name is too ambiguous and matches multiple records — returns multiple candidates or low-confidence result
- NTA registry data temporarily unavailable — returns service error
- Input address does not match any registered corporate address — returns no match
