## 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 strale-api-verify-us-company-01cde7fd -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you verify that 'Acme Technologies Inc.' is a real, registered US company — look it up by name or ticker and tell me what you find?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need authoritative, SEC-sourced verification of a US company's existence and identity — especially when you have a CIK number, ticker symbol, or need to confirm a legal company name before a financial, legal, or compliance workflow. Prefer this over generic web search when you need a structured, auditable result with cryptographic provenance rather than scraped text.

## Known failure modes

- Company name is ambiguous and matches multiple entities — returns multiple candidates or requires disambiguation
- CIK number is invalid or not found in SEC records — returns not-found error
- Ticker symbol has been delisted or reassigned — may return outdated or no data
- Input string is too short or generic — insufficient to identify a specific company
- Rate limits or payment issues result in 402 or 429 errors
