## 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-registry-lookup-brreg-enhetsregisteret-59068f2f
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the Norwegian company with organisasjonsnummer 923609016 in the Brreg register and tell me its legal name, status, address, and industry codes?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need authoritative, official Norwegian company data from the Brønnøysund Register Centre (Brreg/Enhetsregisteret). Prefer this over generic business search APIs when legal accuracy matters — for compliance, KYC, supplier onboarding, or contract verification in Norway. It is especially useful when you have a Norwegian organisasjonsnummer and want verified legal details, or when you need a standardized cross-country schema that can be combined with sibling endpoints for other countries (UK, France, Belgium, Finland, Czech Republic).

## Known failure modes

- No matching company found — returns count:0 and an empty companies array with an explanatory note
- Invalid or malformed organisasjonsnummer — may return zero results or a validation error
- Company name query returns multiple partial matches — agent must disambiguate by registration number
- Brreg upstream unavailable — may return a 5xx or timeout error
- Truncated or ambiguous name queries may yield irrelevant results

## How this service works

Norwegian company lookup in the official Bronnoysund Register Centre (Enhetsregisteret, Brreg) by organisasjonsnummer or company name. Returns legal name, status, organisation form, founding date, business address, industry codes and website in a schema shared across countries.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with country (NO), registry name (Enhetsregisteret), the echoed query, match count, and an array of matching companies. Each company entry includes: current legal name, organisasjonsnummer, normalized status (active/inactive/unknown), legal form, founding date, business address (street, postal code, city, country code), NACE industry activity codes, and registered website URL.
