## 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 norwegian-company-lookup-enhetsregisteret-cb45257b
```

Example prompt: Can you look up 'Equinor ASA' in the Norwegian company registry and tell me their organisation number, legal form, founding date, and whether they're VAT registered?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative Norwegian company data sourced directly from the official Brønnøysund Register Centre (Enhetsregisteret). Prefer it over general web search when you need structured, machine-readable registry data such as org numbers, VAT status, legal form, NACE codes, or bankruptcy status. It supports both free-text name search (up to 5 matches) and exact org-number lookup, making it suitable for both discovery and verification workflows.

## Known failure modes

- No matches found for the given name (returns empty enheter array)
- Invalid or non-existent 9-digit org number returns zero results
- Ambiguous company name may return up to 5 closest matches, requiring caller to disambiguate
- Registry data may be slightly delayed compared to real-time filings
- Network or upstream Enhetsregisteret outage causes request failure

## How this service works

Norwegian company lookup from the official Bronnoysund Register Centre (Enhetsregisteret). Search by company name or organisation number (org.nr) and get registered name, legal form, founding date, employees, industry codes (NACE), business address, website, VAT registration, bankruptcy and liquidation status. Use it to verify a Norwegian business, find its org number, or check whether it still exists. Compact JSON, data straight from the registry.

## Output

Returns a compact JSON object with source attribution, result count, and an array of matching companies. Each company entry includes: organisation number, registered name, legal form, founding date, employee count, NACE industry codes, business address (street, municipality, postal code, country), website URL, VAT registration flag, and bankruptcy/liquidation status.
