## How to call it through Zero

```

Example prompt: Can you check the Home Office sponsor register and find all organisations in Manchester that are licensed to sponsor Skilled Worker visas — show me up to 50 results with their rating and sponsor type?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, filterable access to the official UK Home Office register of licensed visa sponsors — particularly for compliance checks, employer due diligence, immigration route research, or HR tools. It is preferable to manual Home Office website lookups because it returns machine-readable JSON with pagination, filtering, and a last-refresh timestamp. It covers all Worker and Temporary Worker routes including Skilled Worker, Global Business Mobility, and Creative Worker.

## Known failure modes

- No matching records found for the given filters — returns empty data array with total: 0
- Invalid query parameter values (e.g. unsupported route name) may return empty results without an error
- page parameter exceeding available pages returns empty data array
- Service temporarily unavailable if Home Office source data is being refreshed
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance blocks the request at the x402 layer

## How this service works

UK licensed visa sponsors (Home Office). Every organisation on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors for Worker and Temporary Worker visa routes — organisation name, town and county, sponsor type, licence rating, and the immigration route (Skilled Worker, Global Business Mobility, Creative Worker, and more). One call returns one page of matching records as JSON (25 by default, per_page up to 100) with the total count and the last refresh time; the query parameters filter the records.

## Output

A JSON object with an 'ok' boolean, a 'data' array of sponsor records (each containing organisation name, town, county, sponsor type, rating, and immigration route), and a 'meta' object with the current page, per_page, total record count, source, and last_refreshed_at timestamp.
