## 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 taiwan-company-kyb-lookup-1c6044f8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the official Taiwan company registry record for business number 22099131 — I need the legal name, current status, board members, and paid-in capital for a KYB check?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative KYB data on a Taiwan-registered company sourced directly from the Ministry of Economic Affairs registry. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, machine-readable corporate data with confidence scores and field provenance for compliance, onboarding, or due diligence workflows targeting Taiwanese entities specifically.

## Known failure modes

- Company not found in registry (found: false)
- Business accounting number does not exist or is malformed
- Legal name in English unavailable (gap: legalNameEn)
- Partial record returned with partialReason explaining missing fields
- Registry source temporarily unavailable
- safeToAutomate flag is false, requiring human review before acting on results
