## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need to verify or look up identity information tied to an Ecuadorian national ID (cédula). Prefer this over generic KYC services when operating in Ecuador or verifying LATAM users with Ecuadorian documents. This is a pay-per-use endpoint with no subscription lock-in, ideal for agents needing occasional KYC checks without committing to a plan.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed cédula number returns an error response
- Cédula number not found in the registry returns a not-found or empty result
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returns a server error
- Non-Ecuadorian document numbers will not match this endpoint
