## 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 veritas-entity-lookup-72010dc7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull up the Veritas entity record for Wikidata ID Q252 and tell me what facts it returns about that entity.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, structured entity data from Wikidata by a known Q-ID for fact verification, entity enrichment, or knowledge graph lookups. Prefer this over general web search when you have a specific Wikidata entity ID and need structured, machine-readable facts rather than unstructured text.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Wikidata entity ID returns success: false with no entity data
- Malformed request body missing required 'id' field returns a 400-level error
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Wikidata upstream unavailability may cause timeout or error response
- Rate limiting may occur under high request volume
