## 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 crustdata-withzero-xyz-crustdata-cached-job-listings-search-hiring-4f5e7529 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Crustdata's cached job listings for US-based companies hiring software engineers right now — filter to hq_country = USA, return up to 25 results including company_name, hq_country, and linkedin_profile_url, sorted by latest employee count descending.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need fast, cached hiring signal data to qualify or prioritize accounts in a GTM workflow. Prefer this over the live professional-network job search route when recency is less critical than speed and cost — cached data is cheaper and lower latency. Best for bulk account qualification, pipeline enrichment, or technology-adoption inference at scale.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream Crustdata API error — settles $0, returns error details in data field
- Invalid filter syntax — Crustdata rejects malformed condition operators
- Requested fields not available — partial or empty response
- Cursor expired or invalid — pagination fails with error
- Limit exceeds 1000 — request rejected at schema validation
- No matching records — returns empty data array with zero billing credits

## How this service works

Core workflow route: search cached job listings to infer account growth, hiring priorities, expansion, or technology adoption. Default pricing is $0.10 per Crustdata credit with a $0.01 minimum successful-call settlement. Upstream Crustdata errors settle $0. Indexed job search is priced at 0.03 Crustdata credits per returned job.

## Output

Returns a raw JSON payload from Crustdata containing matched job listings and company records based on the applied filters, plus a billing object detailing Crustdata API credits consumed, the per-credit USDC price, and the total USDC micro-units settled for the call.
