## 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-kyb-essentials-norway-76aebac5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the KYB essentials for Norwegian company with org number 914778271 — I need to verify they're a legitimate registered business before we onboard them as a supplier.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, structured KYB data specifically for Norwegian companies identified by their 9-digit organisation number. It is ideal for automated onboarding flows, compliance checks, and supplier verification pipelines where a lightweight, per-call cost model ($1.62 USDC) is preferable to a subscription, and where a cryptographic audit trail is required for regulatory purposes. Use alternatives for other countries' company registries (Strale offers separate endpoints for e.g. Austria).

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed org number (not 9 digits) — returns validation error
- Company not found in Norwegian register — returns not-found response
- Org number exists but company has been dissolved — returns record with inactive status
- Network or upstream registry timeout — returns 5xx error
- Insufficient USDC balance for x402 micropayment — payment fails before call is made

## How this service works

The trust layer for AI agents — 250+ independently tested data capabilities across 27 countries. Execute capabilities via REST, MCP, A2A, or x402 micropayments. Every call returns an audit record with cryptographic chain hashing.

## Output

Returns essential KYB data for the Norwegian company including registered name, company type, registration status (active/inactive), registered address, incorporation date, and industry/activity codes drawn from the Norwegian Business Register (Brønnøysund). Each call also returns a cryptographic audit record with chain hashing for compliance traceability.
