## 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-investor-search-95c6639e
```

Example prompt: Can you find the investor ID for Sequoia Capital? Try searching by name 'Sequoia Capital' or their domain 'sequoiacap.com'.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve an investor's canonical ID from partial or varied identifiers — especially when you have a name, domain, LinkedIn, or Crunchbase URL and need a consistent ID to use in downstream API calls on the Orthogonal platform. Prefer this over manual lookup when the exact investor name is uncertain and fuzzy matching is needed.

## Known failure modes

- No investor found matching the provided name, domain, or URL — returns empty or null result
- Fuzzy name match returns multiple ambiguous results requiring disambiguation
- Invalid LinkedIn or Crunchbase URL format causes a 400 or validation error
- Rate limiting or payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Domain provided does not match any known investor record

## How this service works

Search for an investor id using fuzzy match or other identifiers

## Output

Returns a canonical investor ID and associated investor record data that can be used to look up further details about that investor or fund within the Orthogonal platform.
