## 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 2s-occupation-search-o-net-6dc41e1a
```

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative O*NET occupation codes and titles from the U.S. Department of Labor — ideal for HR systems, career tools, resume parsers, workforce analytics, or any application that needs standardized occupational classifications. Prefer this over generic search engines when DOL-standard codes are required.

## Known failure modes

- Keyword shorter than 2 characters returns a validation error
- No matching occupations found returns ok:true with empty items array and total:0
- Limit parameter outside 1-50 range returns a validation error
- Payment not received results in 402 response requiring USDC payment via x402

## How this service works

Find O*NET occupations by keyword (job title, skill, or activity). Returns ranked occupations with their SOC / O*NET-SOC code and title. CC-BY (O*NET). The "what is the occupation code for this job/skill" primitive — every other occupation.* and labor.wages call composes on the returned code.

## Output

A JSON object with a boolean ok flag, an array of matching occupations each containing an O*NET code (e.g. '29-1141.00') and title, a total count of matches, and source metadata including the O*NET URL, CC-BY-4.0 license, and provider attribution.
