## 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-skip-tracing-api-30694adb -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you skip trace John Smith, last known address 123 Elm Street, Springfield IL, to find his current contact information and address?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to locate a person's current contact information or address and have some prior identifying details (name, old address, phone). Prefer this over general web search when structured people-search data is needed programmatically and you can pay per-request in USDC on Base.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient identifying information provided — no results returned
- Person not found in available databases — empty result set
- Input data too ambiguous to match a unique individual — multiple or no matches
- Service timeout or upstream data provider error — 5xx response
- Payment failure via x402/USDC — 402 Payment Required
