## 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 lookthrough-company-background-reports-612b9b01 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull a full background report on Acme Technologies Ltd registered in the UK — I need their registry profile, officers, ownership, any charges, sanctions, and adverse media hits.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need an analyst-grade, multi-dimensional company background report sourced from official public registries, covering officers, ownership, charges, sanctions, and adverse media in a single call. It is especially suited for KYB/due diligence workflows, vendor screening, and compliance checks across its supported countries (GB, FR, NO, FI, CZ, EE, SK, LV, IL, CA, CY, US). Prefer it over general web search when you need structured, authoritative corporate data rather than aggregated news or informal sources.

## Known failure modes

- Company not found in the target country registry — no candidates returned
- Invalid or unsupported country code — request rejected
- Payment not completed or signature invalid — 402 response blocks report delivery
- Candidate index (idx) out of range or not matching order — entity step fails
- Coverage not available for the specific company or jurisdiction — report not deliverable
