## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify a DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) registration number or search by name for compliance, healthcare provider onboarding, or KYC/KYB workflows — especially when pay-per-call pricing is preferred over subscription models and when you need a cryptographically signed response.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent DEA number returns error or empty data
- Missing required documentNumber or fullName returns validation error
- Incorrect document type for the given number causes lookup failure
- Expired or revoked DEA registration may return status indicating invalidity
- Payment failure (x402) blocks request before processing
- Date of birth mismatch for document types requiring it causes rejection
