## 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-canadian-federal-corporation-lookup-aeb034bd
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the Corporations Canada record for the Canadian federal corporation with corporation number 11037 — I need its current status, registered office address, and any name history?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative open-data details for a specific Canadian federal corporation and already know its corporation number or 9-digit BN9. It is the right choice for due diligence, KYC, legal verification, or data enrichment workflows targeting federally incorporated Canadian entities. It is not appropriate for name-based searches, provincial corporations, or foreign company lookups.

## Known failure modes

- Corporation number not found — returns error or empty result if the number does not exist in Corporations Canada data
- Invalid input format — non-numeric or wrong-length business number may return an error
- Name search not supported — attempting to search by company name rather than number will fail
- Data unavailability — open data source may lag behind official registry; very recent changes may not reflect
- Network or payment failure — x402 micropayment not settled results in 402 response with no data
