## 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 kiteendpoints-ai-linkedin-profile-lookup-63262b18 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the LinkedIn profile data for the person at linkedin.com/in/satya-nadella — I want their current job title, company, and a summary of their experience?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically retrieve LinkedIn profile data without managing your own scraping infrastructure, and you are comfortable paying $0.15 USDC per lookup via the x402 micropayment protocol on Base chain. Best for one-off or low-volume profile enrichment, sales intelligence, or lead research workflows where setting up a dedicated LinkedIn API integration is not practical.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or private LinkedIn profile URL returns empty or error result
- Rate limiting or LinkedIn bot detection may cause failed scrapes
- Malformed input (missing profile identifier) returns a validation error
- Profile not found returns null or empty data object
- Service downtime on KiteEndpoints.ai hub returns 5xx error
- Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 payment blocks request
