## 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 pocket-network-french-company-legal-risk-check-10ea6a7d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you do a full legal and risk check on the French company with SIREN 552 032 534 — I need their legal name, address, NAF code, officers, VAT status, and any BODACC insolvency notices before we sign a supply agreement?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single-call, authoritative French company identity and risk check combining official sources (SIRENE, RNE, BODACC, VIES) without setting up API keys or accounts. It is ideal for KYB (Know Your Business) workflows, supplier onboarding, contract due diligence, and compliance screening of French entities. Prefer this over generic business data APIs when you specifically need French registry data, insolvency notices, and EU VAT validation in one response with actionable risk flags.

## Known failure modes

- Company not found in SIRENE for the given SIREN/SIRET/name — returns empty or not-found response
- Invalid SIREN format (must be 9 digits) or SIRET format (must be 14 digits) — validation error
- VIES VAT service temporarily unavailable — VAT check may be skipped or flagged as unavailable
- BODACC service timeout — insolvency notices may be incomplete
- Ambiguous company name query returning multiple results — agent must disambiguate
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance — request rejected with 402

## How this service works

Legal identity and risk check for a French company from SIRENE/RNE, BODACC and VIES: legal name, SIREN/SIRET, address, NAF code, state, officers, VAT number and dated insolvency notices, with flags and action_required for anything to review. POST /v1/company with siren, siret or q (company or director name). Pay per request in USDC; no account, no API key.

## Output

Returns a structured object containing the company's legal name, SIREN, SIRET, registered address, NAF/APE code, current state (active, dissolved, etc.), a list of officers with optional birth year, EU VAT number and VIES validation status, dated BODACC insolvency notices up to the requested limit, boolean risk flags, and an action_required list of items needing manual review.
