## 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 orthogonal-company-search-e037e455 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Find me up to 20 B2B SaaS companies headquartered in New York with between 50 and 500 employees that have raised a Series B or later, and are currently hiring software engineers.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, filterable company discovery across multiple dimensions (funding, location, size, technology, industry) rather than a simple keyword search. It excels at B2B sales prospecting, market research, and competitive intelligence where precise multi-filter queries are needed. Its smart pagination billing model makes it cost-effective for large result sets.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid filter parameter types causing schema validation errors
- Empty result set if filters are too restrictive
- Pagination errors if cursor from a different search session is reused
- Billing errors if parentRequestId is passed with changed non-pagination parameters
- Rate limiting or payment failures via x402 protocol

## How this service works

Search for companies using filters Pagination billing: call the first page normally and save billing.requestId from the Orthogonal /v1/run response. For later page, offset, or cursor calls on the same logical search, pass parentRequestId with unchanged non-pagination parameters. Valid continuation calls still get their own request IDs and quoted price, but are charged 0. Changing filters starts a new billable request.

## Output

A paginated list of company records matching the specified filters, including company metadata such as name, location, industry, employee count, funding details, technologies used, and more. Also returns a pagination cursor for fetching subsequent pages and a billing requestId for cost-free continuation calls.
