## 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 northdata-company-person-search-scraper-c14fc5a5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search NorthData for 'Siemens AG' in Germany and give me up to 30 results including their officers, financials, and company history timeline — I want to see who the directors are and what their latest revenue looks like.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured European company or person data from NorthData — particularly for German, Austrian, Swiss, or other European business registry research. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when you need structured fields like registration numbers, LEI codes, officers, and financials already parsed. Ideal for due diligence, corporate network mapping, and compliance research on European entities.

## Known failure modes

- Empty result set if search query matches no public NorthData records (not charged)
- Country filter may exclude valid results if set incorrectly
- Anonymous search caps results at 45 per query maximum
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol
- Invalid URL in startUrls returns no data for that entry
- Some fields (financials, officers) may be null if not publicly visible on NorthData

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

## Output

A JSON object with a count and an array of items, each containing fields such as company/person name, URL, legal status, LEI code, record type, founding date, registration number, corporate purpose, and optionally officers, financials, events, news, and related companies.
