## 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: Can you pull up to 20 investors from the Gapup directory who are based in the US, with their focus areas, typical ticket sizes, and contact info?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a curated, structured investor directory with rich metadata (focus, stage, ticket size, contacts) and want to filter by geography. Prefer this over generic web search when you need clean, machine-readable investor profiles suitable for CRM ingestion, outreach automation, or fundraising research pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- No investors found for the specified country — returns empty list
- Invalid country code or name — may return error or empty results
- Limit exceeds maximum of 50 — request rejected
- Async mode requested — returns job_id instead of results; must poll separately
- Service timeout for synchronous calls on large result sets
