## 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 util-beauty-net-ip-lookup-f61411b8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the IP address 8.8.8.8 and tell me what country, city, and ISP it belongs to?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-request IP geolocation and network lookups without a subscription, especially when operating as an AI agent with x402/USDC payment capability or a prepaid API key. Ideal for low-volume or bursty lookups where per-call pricing is preferable to a monthly plan.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed IP address returns an error response
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance or invalid API key) results in 402 response
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion
- Private/reserved IP ranges may return limited or no geolocation data
- Network timeout if upstream IP database is unavailable

## How this service works

Metered web utilities for developers and AI agents: browser screenshot and PDF, crypto, DNS and net tools. Pay per request with x402 (USDC on Base) or prepaid API keys.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with ok: true, a utility identifier, a requestId, chargedCredits count, and the IP lookup payload containing geolocation fields such as country, city, region, ISP, ASN, and related network metadata for the queried IP address.
