> Scrapebench Business Entity Compliance Check is a paid API for AI agents from api.scrapebench.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.08/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-21).

## 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 scrapebench-business-entity-compliance-check-c481f8db -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check if 'Apex Health Solutions LLC' is registered and in good standing in New York, and flag any OFAC sanctions or HHS-OIG exclusion list matches at the same time?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a combined business registry lookup plus sanctions/exclusion screening in a single call for entities registered in CO, OR, NY, or CT. It is ideal for KYB workflows, vendor onboarding, and counterparty due diligence where you want to avoid making separate API calls to state registries, OFAC, and HHS-OIG. It is not suitable for states outside the supported four, for federal entity lookups, or for individuals rather than business entities.

## Known failure modes

- Entity not found in the specified state registry — returns empty or not-found result
- Invalid or malformed entity_id pattern — schema validation error
- Neither name nor entity_id provided — request rejected
- State not in supported set (CO, OR, NY, CT) — validation error
- Inactive entities not returned unless include_inactive is set to true
- Name substring too short (under 2 characters) — schema validation error
- Transient upstream registry scraping failure — may return partial or error response

## How this service works

Check a business entity's registry record and standing in CO, OR, NY or CT by name or entity id, with OFAC SDN sanctions and HHS-OIG LEIE exclusion-list matches on the same row. For KYB, vendor onboarding and counterparty checks by agents.

## Output

A structured response containing the business entity's registry record (name, status, formation date, registered agent, etc.) from the requested state (CO, OR, NY, or CT), along with inline flags for any OFAC SDN sanctions matches and HHS-OIG LEIE exclusion list hits — all in a single unified row.
