## 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 clado-people-search-via-locus-x402-c69ca273 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Clado for up to 50 people who currently work at Stripe and went to Stanford, so I can build a lead list for outreach.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to find and enrich people profiles at scale for B2B lead generation, especially when filtering by company or school affiliation. It is ideal for sales prospecting workflows where LinkedIn enrichment is required and you want pay-per-call pricing at $0.001 USDC with no subscription. Prefer it over generic web search when structured lead data with LinkedIn signals is the goal.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required query field returns an error if no search_id is provided for continuation
- Exceeding max limit of 100 results per call returns a validation error
- Invalid search_id for pagination returns not-found or expired session error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request from executing
- Empty result set returned when query matches no profiles in the database
