## 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 coresignal-employee-profile-lookup-by-profile-url-50831fcd
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the full professional profile for the person at this LinkedIn URL: https://www.linkedin.com/in/janedoe? I want to see their job title, employer, and work history.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a professional network profile URL (e.g. LinkedIn URL) and want to retrieve a structured, enriched employee profile without needing to first resolve a numeric CoreSignal ID. It is the most direct path from a URL to a full profile record and avoids a separate ID lookup step.

## Known failure modes

- Profile URL not found in CoreSignal database — returns empty or 404 response
- Malformed or non-URL-encoded profile URL causes a request error
- Profile exists but has sparse data (limited public information scraped)
- Rate limit exceeded — returns 429 error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol — call not executed

## How this service works

Get a full employee profile by their professional network URL. Pass the URL-encoded profile URL in the path. Returns the same data as collecting by ID. This is the easiest way to look up a person if you have their profile URL.

## Output

Returns a comprehensive employee profile object matching CoreSignal's employee_base schema, including name, current job title, current employer, full work history, education background, skills, and associated professional network metadata — equivalent to what would be returned by a lookup by numeric CoreSignal employee ID.
