## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability uk-gazette-insolvency-notices-lookup-e9c8cfba
```

Example prompt: Can you check The Gazette for any insolvency or winding-up notices for Carillion PLC?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need official, government-sourced UK insolvency and legal notice data from The Gazette without requiring API key signup. It is ideal for due diligence, credit risk checks, and compliance workflows where verified, citable sources are required. Prefer this over Companies House-only lookups when you specifically need Gazette notice history including winding-up resolutions, liquidation appointments, and creditor notices.

## Known failure modes

- Company not found in Gazette returns totalNotices: 0 and empty notices array
- Misspelled company name may return unrelated or zero results
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response before data is returned
- Rate limits or upstream Gazette unavailability may cause timeouts or 5xx errors
- Company numbers vs names may produce different result sets — ambiguity in query

## How this service works

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the original query string, an array of Gazette notice objects (each with notice type, company name, publication date, and a direct link to the official Gazette entry), the total number of notices found, and a boolean flag indicating whether any insolvency-related notices are present.
