## How to call it through Zero

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a simple, pay-per-call company lookup without managing subscriptions or API keys. It is best suited for ad-hoc or low-volume company data queries within an AI agent workflow that already supports the x402 payment protocol. Prefer it when you want a single unified API gateway rather than integrating a dedicated company data provider directly.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or ambiguous input string may return no results or an unhelpful response
- Unknown company names may return null or empty result objects
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol may prevent the call from completing
- Malformed input object missing the required 'input' field returns a validation error
- Network or server errors on the Vercel deployment may cause 5xx responses
