## 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 captaindata-people-search-414dd88e
```

Example prompt: Search LinkedIn Sales Navigator for VP-level marketing professionals at Series B SaaS companies in the United States and give me the first page of results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover and build lists of people matching specific professional criteria using LinkedIn Sales Navigator's powerful filtering capabilities. Prefer this over simpler find-by-name endpoints when you want broad discovery across many profiles rather than looking up a specific individual.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed Sales Navigator search query returns an error
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded returns a 429 or quota error
- No results found for overly narrow query returns empty results list
- Authentication failure returns 401 unauthorized
- Pagination offset out of range returns empty or error response

## How this service works

Search and discover people using a LinkedIn Sales Navigator search query. Returns paginated results with profile summaries. Use the X-Pagination-Next response header cursor for pagination. Pagination billing: call the first page normally and save billing.requestId from the Orthogonal /v1/run response. For later page, offset, or cursor calls on the same logical search, pass parentRequestId with unchanged non-pagination parameters. Valid continuation calls still get their own request IDs and quoted price, but are charged 0. Changing filters starts a new billable request.

## Output

Returns a paginated list of people profiles discovered via LinkedIn Sales Navigator, including profile details such as name, title, company, and LinkedIn URL, along with pagination metadata for retrieving subsequent pages.
