## 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 kiteendpoints-ai-bin-checker-a13a1b13 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the BIN 424242 for me and tell me what bank issued it, what card network it belongs to, and whether it's a debit or credit card?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, per-request BIN lookups without a subscription to a dedicated BIN database provider, and when you're already operating in a crypto-payment (USDC/Base) workflow. Best for low-to-moderate volume lookups where pay-per-call economics make sense over a monthly subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized BIN returns empty or error result
- BIN database may not have records for all issuing banks or regions
- Newly issued BINs may not yet be indexed
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns error
- Payment failure on-chain prevents request from being processed

## How this service works

## Output

Returns card metadata including the card network (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, etc.), card type (credit, debit, prepaid), card category, issuing bank name, and country of issuance associated with the given BIN prefix.
