## 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 limitguard-pro-api-key-upgrade-f64e5553
```

Example prompt: Upgrade my LimitGuard API key to the Pro tier so I can access all 8 data sources for full trust scoring on entities.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to unlock Pro-tier features on LimitGuard, specifically when existing API key capabilities are insufficient and you need access to all 8 data sources for full trust scoring, sanctions screening, PEP checks, and advanced compliance reports. Choose this over account portal upgrades when automating provisioning in agent workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance — payment of $999 USDC required
- API key not found or invalid — key must exist before upgrading
- Already on Pro tier — upgrade not applicable
- Payment authorization failure via x402 protocol
- Network timeout during upgrade transaction

## How this service works

Check every lead against official business registers, VAT and sanctions lists. Proceed, review or block, with the source. 5 lead checks free.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with status 'ok' confirming the API key has been successfully upgraded to the Pro tier, granting access to expanded trust scoring capabilities including up to 8 data sources.
