## 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-leaders-api-cbbaa9c8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull a list of up to 20 current world leaders from Veritas, filtered to the United Kingdom using its Wikidata country ID?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, up-to-date political leadership data tied to Wikidata country identifiers, particularly for geopolitical lookups, country profiles, or fact-checking political leadership claims. Prefer this over general web search when you need machine-readable structured data about heads of state or government.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid country_id returns an empty leaders array or error
- Missing or malformed limit parameter may return default results or a validation error
- Service unavailable at the .xyz domain returning a 402 or 5xx error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol preventing access
- No leaders found for a given country_id returning an empty array with success: true
