## 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 penny-data-uk-company-profile-lookup-by-company-number-ff1d43f2
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the Companies House profile for company number 00445790 — I need their registered address, SIC codes, and whether they're still active?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured UK company data — such as registered address, SIC codes, active status, or filing deadlines — for a known Companies House company number, and you want pay-per-call access with no API key or account setup required. Ideal for agents that need occasional lookups without committing to a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent company number returns an error or empty response
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance on Base) blocks the request
- Malformed company number (wrong format) may return a 404 or validation error
- Rate limiting or upstream Companies House API unavailability may cause timeouts
