## 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 permit-scouter-single-permit-full-detail-3900ee62
```

Example prompt: Pull the full permit record and every status change for permit number BP-2024-007821 from the Tampa source on Permit Scouter.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you already know the specific permit number and source jurisdiction and need the full detail record including complete status history. Prefer this over the address-based or contractor-based endpoints when you have a direct permit identifier and need every recorded status transition rather than a list of permits.

## Known failure modes

- Permit not found for given source and permit number — 404 response
- Invalid or unsupported source jurisdiction — 400 or 404 response
- Permit number format mismatch with source jurisdiction conventions — empty or error response
- Payment failure via x402 protocol — 402 response requiring payment
- Rate limiting or service unavailability — 429 or 503 response
