## 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 hirepulse-hot-buyers-hiring-intent-scorer-55f43981 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Score these 10 company domains by hiring intent and give me back only the ones with an intent score of 75 or higher: stripe.com, shopify.com, hubspot.com, notion.so, figma.com, linear.app, vercel.com, retool.com, airtable.com, segment.com.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have a known list of B2B prospect or account domains and want to prioritize them by hiring intent signals before running outreach, launching an ABM campaign, or allocating sales resources. It is particularly useful when you want a fast, scored shortlist rather than raw contact data or traffic analytics. Prefer this over generic enrichment APIs when the specific signal needed is hiring activity as a proxy for growth and buying intent.

## Known failure modes

- Fewer than 2 domains provided — request rejected (minItems constraint)
- More than 25 domains provided — request rejected (maxItems constraint)
- Invalid quote_id when attempting to pay and retrieve results — payment or quote lookup failure
- All companies score below the min_intent_score threshold — empty result returned, no charge
- Domain format invalid (includes URL scheme or path) — parse error or incorrect scoring
- Payment not completed before quote expiry — quote_id becomes stale
