## How to call it through Zero

```sh

```

Example prompt: Find me high-confidence equipment finance opportunities from building permits filed in the last 7 days in Seattle, Washington — limit the results to the top 5 and tell me what equipment categories are likely involved.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, permit-sourced equipment finance sales leads scoped to a specific US geography and time window. It is purpose-built for equipment lenders, leasing companies, and sales teams who want to proactively identify construction projects that imply equipment demand — without relying on self-reported intent. Prefer it over general business search or CRM enrichment tools when the signal source (building permit activity) and output (equipment category inference + opportunity scoring) are specifically relevant to your sales workflow.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported municipality/state combination returns empty results
- Requesting a date range with no recent permit activity returns zero opportunities
- Malformed properties input may result in unexpected filtering behavior
- Upstream permit data source (e.g. Socrata adapter) temporarily unavailable causes degraded or empty response
- Exceeding scan limits may result in incomplete result sets with bounded=true flag
