## 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-m-a-acquisition-signals-search-31e91cc6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you search for acquisitions in the fintech industry from the last 30 days where the deal amount was at least $50 million, sorted by amount descending? Show me the first 20 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time M&A deal intelligence with rich filtering — especially when you need to filter by acquirer identity, deal size, industry vertical, geography, or date range simultaneously. Prefer this over generic news search when you need structured deal data (amounts, company names, dates) rather than news articles. The free count-only mode is useful for gauging deal volume before committing credits to full record retrieval.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid date format returns a 400 error — use YYYY-MM-DD
- amount_min/amount_max must be in USD cents, not dollars — wrong unit returns unexpected results
- Unsupported sort_by field returns an error
- Exceeding limit of 100 per page may return a validation error
- No results found returns an empty records array rather than an error
- Invalid country code or industry string may silently return zero results

## How this service works

Search real-time M&A/acquisition signals with filters for acquirer, amount, industry, date, and more. 1 credit per record. Use count='true' for free count-only query.

## Output

Returns a paginated list of M&A acquisition records matching the filters, each containing details such as acquiring company, target company, deal amount (in USD cents), industry, country, employee count, acquisition date, and discovery timestamp. When count='true' is used, returns only the total count of matching records at no credit cost.
