## 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-ecuador-company-kyb-lookup-20dbd158 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you verify the Ecuadorian company with RUC 1790016919001 — I need to confirm it's a legitimately registered business before we onboard them as a vendor.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically verify or enrich data about a company registered in Ecuador, especially in autonomous agent workflows that require pay-per-use KYB without a subscription. Ideal for LATAM-focused compliance pipelines or counterparty onboarding checks.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid documentType value returns validation error
- Unknown or unregistered document number returns not-found response
- Malformed request body returns 400 error
- Insufficient x402 payment or payment failure blocks the call
- Ecuador registry temporarily unavailable causes upstream timeout
