## 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 maxwell-x402-austrian-legislation-ris-05978038
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the Austrian Data Protection Regulation on Datenschutz-Folgenabschätzung — I need its official title, whether it's still in force, and the official RIS link? The RIS ID is 20010206.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured metadata about Austrian federal legislation — title, in-force status, dates, and official links — sourced directly from the official RIS system. Prefer it over generic web search when you need authoritative, machine-readable legal data for Austria specifically, especially for compliance checks or legal research workflows.

## Known failure modes

- 404 returned when ID or search term not yet cached — result will be available within ~1 minute, and the call is not charged
- Invalid or non-existent RIS ID returns not-found response
- Network timeout if RIS upstream is slow
- Malformed query parameters result in an error response

## How this service works

Laws of Austria from RIS (Rechtsinformationssystem): search by title, or fetch one act by its official id, with title, in-force status, dates and the official link. An id or search not yet cached answers 404, not charged, and is fetched within about a minute.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the act's full title, short title, RIS ID, country code, in-force status, relevant dates, source attribution (CC BY 4.0, RIS OGD), and the official RIS URL. Returns 404 (not charged) if the ID or search term is not yet cached, with the result fetched within approximately one minute.
