## 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 tariffmonkee-taiwan-fraud-domain-check-646006e4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check if 'shop-tw-deal.com' is on Taiwan's NPA fraud blocklist or has been flagged in scam reports? Also check if the claim 'this site is a licensed bank' has been debunked by the 165 anti-scam archive.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to quickly screen a Taiwanese domain or URL against official NPA fraud suspension records and community scam report volumes, or when verifying whether a specific scam narrative has been officially debunked by Taiwan's 165 anti-fraud hotline archive. Prefer this over generic blocklist APIs when the context is specifically Taiwan-region fraud.

## Known failure modes

- Domain not found in either dataset — returns clean result, not confirmation of legitimacy
- Claim not matched in 165 archive — may be outside the 89-entry coverage or post-April 2025
- Malformed URL input — only hostname is extracted, so bizarre inputs may parse incorrectly
- 165 archive coverage ends April 2025 — newer scam stories will not be found
- Both 'domain' and 'url' omitted — endpoint requires at least one of these fields

## How this service works

Taiwan fraud check for a domain or URL: matches against the NPA list of fraud-suspended domains (83k+ entries) and a report-volume dataset (45k+ sites), and optionally checks a claim against the 165 debunked-scam-story archive (89 entries, coverage ends April 2025). Informational only; 165 is the authoritative source.

## Output

Returns whether the queried domain appears on the NPA fraud-suspended list (83k+ entries), its position or score in the report-volume dataset (45k+ sites), and if a claim was provided, whether it matches a debunked scam story in the 165 archive (89 entries, coverage through April 2025). Results are informational only; 165 is the authoritative source.
