## 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 korean-law-query-x402-pokt-agent-com-c2c78057 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up what Korean law says about unfair trading practices in financial markets — specifically Article 178 of the Capital Markets Act (자본시장과 금융투자업에 관한 법률)?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, citation-ready Korean statutory text directly from law.go.kr, especially for compliance, due diligence, or legal research involving Korean financial, corporate, or commercial law. It is pay-per-call with no account setup, making it ideal for agents that need occasional Korean legal lookups without a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Law name not found: returns error if the Korean law name does not match any statute in the database
- Article not found: if the specified article number does not exist within the cited law
- Ambiguous query: natural language questions may match multiple laws or return partial results
- Korean encoding issues: non-UTF-8 input for Korean characters may cause lookup failures
- Payment failure: call rejected if USDC payment on Base via x402 is insufficient or fails

## How this service works

Pay-per-call Korean company due diligence, company ID crosswalk, sanctions screening with Korean name variants, Upbit/Bithumb risk events, HWP to Markdown, business status, business-day calendar, address normalisation, law, rates, filings and more. No account or API key: pay each call in USDC on Base via x402.

## Output

A JSON object containing the matched Korean law name (in Korean), the full article text, the article number (e.g. 제178조), and the source attribution pointing to law.go.kr.
