## 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 mdataaccess-company-search-2c1cd0d0
```

Example prompt: Can you look up Stripe's company data — I need their industry, employee count, headquarters location, and founding year using the PDL company search?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured firmographic data for a specific company and want pay-per-request access with no subscription commitment. Prefer this over bulk data providers when enriching individual leads or doing spot lookups. Ideal for AI agent workflows that need company intelligence on demand. The SQL query interface gives precise control over filtering criteria, making it better than free-text search APIs when you know specific attributes like domain or name.

## Known failure modes

- SQL query matches no company — returns empty data object
- Malformed SQL query syntax — returns error response
- Company exists but has limited PDL coverage — sparse/incomplete data fields returned
- Rate limiting or payment failure — 402 response if USDC payment is not processed
- Ambiguous query matching multiple companies — only one record returned, may not be the intended one

## How this service works

MDataAccess gives AI agents pay-per-request access to business, people, company, lead, and web data through a machine-native x402 API.

## Output

A JSON object containing a single company record sourced from People Data Labs (PDL), including fields such as company name, domain, industry, employee count, revenue range, headquarters location, founding year, technology stack, social media profiles, and other firmographic attributes. The response includes a 'provider' field indicating 'pdl' and a 'data' object with the matched company's details.
