## 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 moneytools-phone-number-validator-formatter-45cb8f67
```

Example prompt: Can you validate and format the phone number 0912 345 678 (from Taiwan, country code TW) — tell me if it's valid, what type it is (mobile or fixed), and give me the E.164 and international formats?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need robust, standards-compliant phone number validation and formatting powered by Google's libphonenumber for 240+ regions. Ideal when you need E.164 normalization for storage, international formatting for display, or phone type classification (mobile vs. landline) before routing to SMS/voice APIs. The pay-per-use model ($0.001 USDC via x402) makes it cost-effective for low-to-moderate volume without subscription commitment.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unparseable phone number returns validation failure without charge
- Missing required 'number' query parameter returns 400-style error
- Ambiguous number without country code may fail or misidentify region — provide country param to disambiguate
- Free tier exhausted (10/day) triggers HTTP 402 requiring x402 payment or API key
- Malformed country ISO code may cause region defaulting or error

## How this service works

Phone number validate + format: Validate and format phone numbers for 240+ regions (libphonenumber): E.164, international/national format, type (mobile/fixed), country. Free tier 10/day; then $0.001 via x402 (HTTP 402 + PAYMENT-REQUIRED) or X-API-Key credits. Not charged on failure. $0.001 USDC per call via x402 on Base. Run by MoneyTools.

## Output

A JSON object containing: validity flag, E.164 format, international format, national format, phone type (mobile/fixed-line/toll-free/etc), country code, and payment metadata (whether a charge was made, network, amount in USD, transaction hash if applicable) plus free tier usage info.
