## 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`):

Example prompt: Pull a list of companies that LinkedIn considers similar to the company page at linkedin.com/company/stripe — I want to see who LinkedIn recommends as peers or competitors.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover companies that LinkedIn itself considers peers or competitors of a given company — ideal for competitive intelligence, building prospect lists, or market mapping. Prefer this over general LinkedIn search when you want LinkedIn's own algorithmic recommendations rather than keyword-based results.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent LinkedIn company URL returns an error or empty result
- LinkedIn rate limiting or bot detection causes extraction failure
- Company page has no 'similar companies' section, returning an empty list
- Network timeout or upstream LinkedIn changes break the scraping logic
- Malformed input URL causes a validation error
