## 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 saylor-innovations-archaeologic-archaeological-site-lookup-9e32a9a8
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the archaeological site Petra — I want its location, coordinates, heritage designations, and a link to its Wikipedia article?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, enriched data about a specific archaeological or heritage site by name, including coordinates, designations, and linked open data identifiers. It is ideal when Wikidata coverage is sufficient (major world heritage sites, well-known monuments) and you need a single-call lookup rather than a full-text web search. Prefer alternatives if you need free-text search across multiple databases, images of the site, or real-time visitor/ticketing information.

## Known failure modes

- Site name not found in Wikidata — 'found' returns false with no location or designation data
- Ambiguous name matched multiple sites — primary result returned with other_matches array populated
- Misspelled or non-English site names may fail to match or return incorrect records
- Rare or very obscure sites may have incomplete Wikidata records with null fields
- Network timeout or upstream Wikidata unavailability returns an error response

## How this service works

Archaeological and heritage site lookup - description, country, coordinates, designations and links (Wikidata)

## Output

A JSON object indicating whether the site was found, with its canonical name, Wikidata identifier, short description, location details (country, coordinates), inception/founding date, heritage designations, architect records, Wikipedia URL, official website URL, data source attribution, a caveat note, and a list of lower-ranked alternative matches if the query was ambiguous.
