## 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 pa-entity-lookup-x402-04072e4f
```

Example prompt: Can you look up whether 'Keystone Brewing LLC' is registered as a business in Pennsylvania and pull back any registration details from the state records?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to look up Pennsylvania-specific business entity records by name, verify whether a company is registered with the PA Department of State, or perform due diligence on a Pennsylvania business. It sources directly from official Pennsylvania government data (data.pa.gov) and charges a low $0.005 USDC micropayment per query, making it cost-effective for on-demand single lookups. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, authoritative registration data rather than scraped or aggregated results.

## Known failure modes

- Query string too short (under 2 characters) — returns validation error
- No matching businesses found — returns empty results array with count 0
- Payment not completed — returns 402 Payment Required before data is served
- Limit parameter out of range (below 1 or above 25) — returns validation error
- Underlying data.pa.gov source unavailable — may return error or stale data
