## 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-usa-vehicle-lookup-by-vin-afb9ebb0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the vehicle details for VIN 1HGBH41JXMN109186 — I want to know the make, model, year, and any registration info associated with it?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify or decode a specific US vehicle by its VIN number, especially in autonomous agent workflows requiring pay-per-use access with no subscription. Ideal for KYB/KYC pipelines, used-car verification, fraud prevention, or compliance checks where vehicle identity must be confirmed programmatically.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed VIN (not 17 characters or invalid check digit) — returns error response
- VIN not found in US vehicle database — returns empty or not-found result
- Payment failure via x402 — 402 response if USDC payment is not completed
- Network or upstream data source unavailability — 5xx error
- VIN belongs to non-US vehicle with no coverage — limited or no data returned
