## 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-rues-company-registry-lookup-30114f1e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check if the Colombian company with NIT 900123456-7 is properly registered in the RUES national business registry? Use category 'company' and documentType 'NIT' with documentNumber '9001234567'.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify or look up a Colombian company's registration status in the official RUES national business registry, particularly for KYB (Know Your Business) compliance workflows, onboarding due diligence on Colombian entities, or confirming a company's legal existence in Colombia. Prefer this over generic web searches when authoritative, signed registry data is required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent document number returns an error or empty result
- Wrong documentType for the given documentNumber causes lookup failure
- Malformed category parameter returns a validation error
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) results in HTTP 402 before query executes
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returns 5xx error
