## 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-europol-sanctions-watchlist-check-06e23c20 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you screen Juan Carlos Mendoza, born 15/03/1982, against the Europol watchlist to check if he's flagged for any sanctions or criminal activity — using his Colombian cédula number 80456789?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to screen an individual specifically against Europol's watchlist or criminal registry, particularly for cross-border European compliance, AML, or KYC workflows. It is especially useful for agents handling LATAM-to-Europe transaction flows or onboarding users who may appear in European law enforcement databases. Prefer over generic sanctions APIs when Europol-specific coverage is required.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (documentType and documentNumber both absent without fullName provided) → 400 Bad Request
- Invalid document type code → validation error
- Expiration date missing for required document types (CE, PPT, PEP) → error response
- Payment not completed or insufficient USDC → 402 Payment Required
- Individual not found in registry → empty or no-match result
- Rate limiting or upstream Europol registry unavailability → 503 or timeout

## How this service works
