## 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-6e9b49da -d '<json body>'
```

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

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need an analyst-quality, multi-source company background report that combines official registry data with sanctions screening and adverse media in a single call. It covers 12 countries including GB, US, CA, FR, NO, and others. Prefer it over generic web searches when you need structured compliance-grade output (officers, charges, ownership) rather than unstructured news results.

## Known failure modes

- Company not found in the target country registry — returns no candidates or empty result
- Unsupported country code submitted — schema validation error
- Payment not completed — 402 payment required response before report is released
- Invalid candidate index submitted — order step fails
- Network or worker timeout on report generation
