## 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`):

Example prompt: Can you run an OFAC sanctions check on Carlos Alberto Mendez, born 15/06/1980, using his Colombian passport number AB123456 (expiration 20/03/2026) to make sure he's clear before we onboard him?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to screen an individual against OFAC sanctions lists as part of a KYC/AML compliance workflow, especially for LATAM customers where document-based lookup is preferred. Ideal for autonomous agent pipelines that require pay-per-use compliance checks without subscription lock-in, using x402 micropayments.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (documentType without documentNumber or vice versa) returns a 400 validation error
- Invalid document type code returns an error
- Expired or malformed expiration date (required for CE, PPT, PEP) causes rejection
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns 402 Payment Required
- Name not found returns an empty match set, not an error
- Network timeout or service unavailability returns 5xx

## How this service works
