Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 veradata-kyb-entity-lookup-9319feb8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Run a KYB check on this Brazilian company — look up its entity registration data and give me the structured result with an audit hash so I can verify the data integrity.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need verified, structured business entity data specifically for Latin American companies, especially for KYB/compliance workflows. Prefer this over generic business lookup APIs when you need LATAM-specific coverage and an auditable SHA-256 hash for data provenance. The x402 micropayment model ($0.08 USDC) makes it cost-effective for per-query usage without subscription overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'type' or 'method' fields returns a 400 validation error
- Unknown or unsupported entity type returns an empty or error result
- Entity not found in LATAM databases returns null or empty result
- Payment failure via x402 (insufficient funds or unsupported wallet) blocks the request
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded returns a 429 error
- Invalid input schema (wrong types) causes request rejection
