## 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 gloom-hiring-data-api-795c5aff
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest hiring data from Gloom for Cloudflare — I want to see how many open roles they have, how many new postings appeared in the last 7 days, and what function they're hiring most for.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need alternative data on corporate hiring activity tied to stock tickers — particularly useful for equity research, fundamental analysis, or tracking workforce growth as a leading indicator. Prefer it over general job board APIs when you need structured, finance-terminal-grade data aggregated by ticker symbol rather than raw job listings.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or null fields for 30-day change and top country when historical data is unavailable
- No results returned if ticker or filter properties are invalid or unrecognized
- HTTP 402 if payment of 0.24 USDC via x402 protocol is not attached or fails
- Rate limiting or authentication errors if the API key is missing or exhausted
- Stale data if the company has not posted new jobs recently

## How this service works

Gloom is a free, open-source finance terminal for desktop and TUI with charts, news, filings, portfolios, alerts, and plugins.

## Output

Returns a JSON array of company hiring records, each containing the stock ticker, company name, number of currently open roles, new postings in the last 7 days, 30-day change in postings, top hiring function (e.g. legal_compliance, engineering), employee count, and top hiring country. Data is structured for quantitative analysis of labor market signals.
