## 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-fiber-combined-search-count-ee5677ce -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Before I pull the full list, can you check how many companies and people match my search — I'm targeting SaaS companies in the US with 50-500 employees, and I want to exclude anyone already in my prospect exclusion list ID 'excl-001'?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to quickly estimate the size of a prospect pool or addressable market before committing to a full paginated search. It is more cost-effective than fetching full results just to count them, and ideal for campaign planning, quota estimation, or validating that search filters are correctly scoped. Prefer this over the full search endpoint when only the count matters.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed companyParams or profileParams objects return a 400 validation error
- Non-existent exclusion list IDs may return an error or silently return unfiltered counts
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Empty or overly broad filters may return very large counts with no error
- Network timeouts if filter complexity is high

## How this service works

Get total count of companies and people matching search filters in one call.

## Output

Returns an integer or structured count object indicating the total number of companies and the total number of people (profiles) that match the provided search filter parameters, after applying any specified exclusion lists.
