## 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 verifik-ai-colombia-politically-exposed-persons-pep-screening-6c0922b3

Example prompt: Can you check if Juan Carlos Ramírez with Colombian national ID 12345678 is listed as a politically exposed person in Colombia? I need this for KYC compliance before onboarding him.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to specifically screen individuals against Colombia's PEP registry as part of KYC, AML, or financial onboarding compliance workflows. Prefer this over generic sanctions endpoints when the focus is Colombian political exposure specifically, not global sanctions lists.

- Invalid or missing query parameters — 400 bad request
