## 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 ukintel-grant-search-05b641b1
```

Example prompt: Find me all currently open UK government grants for charities working in Scotland — keyword 'community', and show me anything from £10,000 upwards.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need machine-readable, up-to-date UK grant opportunities sourced directly from GOV.UK Find a Grant — especially when GOV.UK itself has no public API. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured fields (amounts, dates, funder, eligibility) rather than raw HTML, and over paid grant databases when you want official government-listed grants only. Ideal for agents that need to match a project or organisation profile against live funding opportunities without scraping.

## Known failure modes

- No grants match the specified filters — returns empty list
- Invalid region or org_type slug returns an error or empty result
- Upstream GOV.UK listing not yet re-indexed — data may lag up to 24 hours
- Malformed query parameters (e.g. non-integer min/max) may return a 400 error
- x402 payment failure results in a 402 response before any data is returned

## How this service works

Live UK grant funding calls from GOV.UK Find a Grant in one call: name, funder, amount range, opening/closing dates, who can apply, one-line summary and the official source link. Filter by keywords, nation, applicant type and amount band. Indexed daily from the official listing - the service has no API of its own, so this is the machine-readable version.

## Output

A list of matching grant records, each containing: grant name, funder organisation, minimum and maximum funding amounts, opening and closing dates, eligible applicant types, a one-line plain-English summary, and the official GOV.UK source link. Results are filtered according to any supplied keywords, region, organisation type, amount range, and open_now parameters.
