## 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 uk-company-officers-lookup-917bf89b -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: Can you pull up all the current and resigned directors and officers for UK company number 00445790 — I need their names, roles, appointment dates, nationalities, and occupations from Companies House?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured officer/director data for a specific UK company by its Companies House registration number. It is purpose-built for UK corporate governance data sourced directly from Companies House. Prefer this over general web scraping when you need structured, authoritative data including appointment dates, nationalities, and occupations, especially for due diligence, compliance, or KYC workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed company number returns an error or empty result
- Company number not found in Companies House returns no data
- Zero-padding omitted from company number may cause lookup failure
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Company with no registered officers returns empty list
