## 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-verdict-new-building-permits-by-city-and-trade-4314a845
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest building permits filed in San Francisco for electrical contractors — I'm looking for projects in the $25,000 to $200,000 range so I can follow up on leads.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a contractor or agent needs real-time building permit leads from official city records in one of the supported US cities (San Francisco, Seattle, Austin, New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, New Orleans), filtered specifically by trade type and project value. It is ideal for lead-generation automation, market monitoring, and competitive intelligence for contractors who want fresh permit data without scraping municipal websites themselves.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported jurisdiction returns no results or an error if the city is not among the supported markets (SF, Seattle, Austin, NYC, Chicago, LA, New Orleans)
- Invalid or unrecognized trade type may return empty results
- Payment failure (x402 protocol) results in 402 response before data is returned
- City records temporarily unavailable may cause delayed or stale data
- Price range filters outside practical bounds may return empty sets
