## 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`):

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover and prospect people based on role, seniority, skills, department, or location — especially when combined with company-level filters. Prefer this over the enrichment/lookup endpoints when you do not have specific LinkedIn handles or Ocean.io IDs and need to build a list of targeted contacts from scratch.
