## 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 bytemine-funding-signals-search-ec123a30 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Bytemine for funding signals — find Series A and Series B rounds in the AI industry from the last 30 days, minimum $5M raised, in the US, and show me the first 20 results sorted by amount descending.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, filterable startup funding data with granular controls over round type, amount range, investor, industry, and geography. Prefer it over static databases when freshness matters (e.g., last 7 or 30 days). Use the count=true mode first to gauge result volume before paying per record. Best for sales prospecting, VC deal flow, market research, and competitive intelligence workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid date format (must be YYYY-MM-DD) returns validation error
- Exceeding limit of 100 results per page returns error
- Invalid round type string returns empty or error response
- Insufficient USDC balance (0.6 per record) causes payment failure
- No matching records returns empty results array
- Invalid country code format returns empty results

## How this service works

Search real-time funding signals with filters for round type, amount, investor, industry, date, employee count, and more. 1 credit per record. Use count='true' for free count-only query.

## Output

Returns paginated funding signal records matching the filters, each containing company name, funding round type, amount raised (in USD cents), investor names, industry, country, employee count, and occurrence/discovery dates. A count-only query (count=true) returns just the total matching record count for free.
