## 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-7fb92b32
```

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

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, government-sourced data specifically about Norwegian legal entities registered in Enhetsregisteret. It is the correct choice for KYB/KYC verification of Norwegian companies, supplier onboarding checks, or enriching records with official legal details. Prefer it over generic business data APIs when Norwegian registry accuracy and official status are required. Use sibling endpoints for UK, Belgian, Czech, Finnish, or French companies instead.

## Known failure modes

- No matching company found — returns count:0 and an empty companies array with a note
- Invalid or malformed organisasjonsnummer — may return zero results rather than an error
- Company name search may return multiple results if the name is common — agent must disambiguate
- Brreg upstream unavailability — upstream API errors may propagate
- Payment failure — x402 payment of $1 USDC not processed, request blocked
- Query exceeds 200 character maxLength — request rejected by schema validation

## 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 the echoed query, ISO country code ('no'), registry name ('Enhetsregisteret'), match count, and an array of matched companies. Each company entry includes: current legal name, registration number, normalized status (active/inactive/unknown), legal/organisation form, founding date, structured business address (street, postal code, city, country code), NACE industry activity codes, and website URL. On zero matches, a note hint is included.
