## 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 api-strale-io-003195aa -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Parse this resume for me and pull out the candidate's name, contact details, work experience, education, skills, and certifications — here's the PDF: https://example.com/john-doe-resume.pdf

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically extract structured candidate data from a resume or CV in PDF, base64, or raw text format — especially in recruitment pipelines, applicant tracking integrations, or HR automation workflows where structured output is needed without manual data entry.

## Known failure modes

- PDF URL is inaccessible or returns a non-200 response
- Base64 string is malformed or does not represent a valid PDF
- Uploaded document is not a resume or contains no parseable text
- Text input is too short or ambiguous to extract meaningful fields
- Rate limiting or payment failure with x402 protocol
