## 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 blockbuster-ai-linkedin-data-scraper-alt-9ca57a67 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the LinkedIn profile data for 'https://www.linkedin.com/in/johndoe' — I need their current job title, employer, location, and a summary of their experience for a recruitment brief?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need LinkedIn profile or company data without access to the official LinkedIn API, especially for recruitment, lead enrichment, or professional background research. The 'alt' variant may use a different underlying data source or proxy method than the primary LinkedIn scraper on the same platform, making it useful as a fallback or for accessing data that the primary scraper cannot retrieve.

## Known failure modes

- Profile not found or URL invalid — returns success: false with empty data
- LinkedIn anti-scraping measures block the request — returns error or empty response
- Rate limiting hit — 402 or 429 response
- Malformed query input — request rejected with validation error
- Private or restricted profile — limited or no data returned
