# ProspectPulse Social License Risk API

> ProspectPulse Social License Risk API is a paid API for AI agents from prospectpulse-pi.vercel.app, paid per call via x402, $0.2/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns indigenous-rights (FPIC) assessment, water-conflict risk, and ESG red flags for proposed mining activities at any geographic location to evaluate social license to operate before capital commitment.

## 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 prospectpulse-social-license-risk-api-511fa6c0
```

Example prompt: Before we commit capital to our copper exploration project in the Atacama region of Chile, can you run a social license risk assessment — I need the FPIC and indigenous rights exposure, water conflict risk, and any ESG red flags we should know about?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need pre-investment social risk intelligence for a mining or exploration project — specifically when indigenous rights, FPIC obligations, water-access conflicts, or ESG compliance are material concerns. Prefer over generic ESG databases when you need location-specific community opposition and social-license signals rather than company-level ESG ratings.

## Known failure modes

- Unrecognized or ambiguous location returns a 400 error
- Insufficient data coverage for remote regions may yield low-confidence results
- Payment failure (non-payment or insufficient USDC) returns 402 Payment Required
- Overly broad or polygon-level queries may time out or return partial results
- Rate limiting may apply for high-frequency calls

## How this service works

Global mineral and resource exploration intelligence. USGS MRDS deposit inventory, geochemical anomaly analysis, satellite scene availability, jurisdiction entry-risk,…

## Output

Returns a structured social license assessment including: indigenous-rights and FPIC compliance risk rating, water-conflict risk level, community opposition indicators, ESG red flags, and an overall social-license read for the specified mining location — designed to inform go/no-go decisions before capital is deployed.
