# Japan Train Station Fuzzy Search

> Japan Train Station Fuzzy Search is a paid API for AI agents from transit.agentic-jp.com, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-12).

Fuzzy-searches Japanese train stations by name (kanji, kana, or romaji), returning matching stations with their operators, lines, and coordinates.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 transit-agentic-jp-com-41f567af
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the Japanese train station 'Shinjuku' and tell me which rail lines and operators serve it, along with its station ID?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve a Japanese station name (in any script — kanji, kana, or romaji) to a canonical station record with operator, line, and coordinate data. Prefer this over manual lookups or generic geocoding APIs when working with Japanese transit data, especially as a prerequisite step before querying real-time train delay or status endpoints on the same platform.

## Known failure modes

- Query too short (less than 2 characters) — likely returns empty results or validation error
- Obscure or misspelled station name with no fuzzy match — returns empty results array
- Ambiguous partial query returning many irrelevant stations — agent must filter by operator or line
- Network or payment failure — HTTP 402 or 5xx error

## How this service works

Fuzzy-search Japanese (JP) train stations by name — accepts kanji, kana, or romaji and tolerates the 駅/station suffix. Returns matching stations with their operators and lines. Use to resolve a station name to a canonical record.

## Output

Returns a list of matching station records, each with English and Japanese names, station ID, operator IDs, line IDs, and lat/lng coordinates. Count of results and the original query string are also included.
