## 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 x402-forgemesh-io-lobbying-registrations-lookup-0d8440a0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Who lobbies for Coinbase? Pull up all their lobbying registrations from 2024 — I want to see which firms they hire, how much they pay each one, and what issues they're lobbying on.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable lobbying data for a specific company — including which firms they hire, what they pay, and what they lobby on — sourced directly from the US Senate LDA public domain database. Prefer this over manual LDA searches when you need JSON output for downstream analysis, reporting, or comparison. Best suited for corporate transparency research, competitive intelligence, policy analysis, and compliance auditing.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for an obscure or misspelled client name
- Ambiguous client name matching multiple entities returns unexpected records
- Year filter may exclude filings if the year parameter format is incorrect
- Rate limits or payment failures may block access at the x402 payment layer
- Partial data for very recent filings not yet fully indexed in the LDA database

## How this service works

Which lobbying firms a company pays and what they lobby on: pass a client name and get its lobbying registrations and quarterly reports — firm, reported income, issue areas, specific-issue descriptions, and named lobbyists — as structured JSON. Add a year to narrow the window.

## Output

A JSON object containing a count of matching filings and an array of lobbying registration records. Each record includes the client name, registrant (lobbying firm) name, reported income, filing UUID, filing year, filing type (e.g. Quarterly Report), and an array of lobbying activities with general issue codes and specific-issue descriptions. Attribution to the US Senate LDA public domain database is included.
