## 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 apollo-people-search-3f07c8de -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Apollo for director and VP-level product managers at SaaS companies in New York, filtering by domains like stripe.com and twilio.com — give me the first 25 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search and discover new people/leads from scratch using filters like title, seniority, location, or company domain. Prefer this over People Enrichment when you don't already have a specific person's details and need to build a prospect list from criteria. Use Org Search first if you need to resolve Apollo organization IDs before filtering by company.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid seniority level value returns a validation error
- Exceeding page limit of 500 returns an error
- per_page exceeding 100 is rejected
- Invalid organization_ids format returns no results or an error
- Rate limits exceeded return a 429 error
- No matching contacts found returns an empty results array

## How this service works

Search for people by job title, location, company, seniority, and more. Returns profile data but not contact details (use enrichment for emails/phones).

## Output

A paginated list of matching people records from Apollo's database, including contact profiles with names, job titles, seniority levels, company affiliations, and locations based on the applied filters.
