## 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 suverse-ripe-abuse-contact-lookup-a8101fa8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Look up the registered abuse contact and authoritative RIR for the IP address 198.51.100.42 — I need to know who to report network abuse to.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically resolve the authoritative abuse contact for any IP, prefix, or ASN without requiring an API key. It is ideal for automated abuse reporting pipelines, security incident response workflows, or spam-fighting tools that need to route complaints to the correct network operator or RIR. Prefer this over manual WHOIS lookups or direct RIPEstat queries when you want a clean, structured response in an agent workflow.

## Known failure modes

- No abuse contact registered in RIPEstat for the given resource — returns empty or null contact
- Invalid IP, prefix format, or ASN causes a parsing or validation error
- RIPEstat API unavailability results in a timeout or upstream error
- Private or reserved IP ranges may not have RIR-registered abuse contacts
- Malformed input (e.g. non-existent ASN) returns no match

## How this service works

Registered abuse-reporting contact for an IP, prefix or ASN via RIPEstat, with the authoritative RIR and the resource matched. Pass an IP, prefix or AS number. Keyless.

## Output

Returns the registered abuse contact email address(es) for the queried IP, prefix, or ASN, along with the authoritative Regional Internet Registry (RIR) responsible for the resource and the specific matched resource identifier.
