## 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-job-search-829fd0d1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Find me up to 25 active full-time senior software engineer jobs posted in the last 7 days in the US that are remote, paying at least $150k/year — return the first page of results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, filterable access to job postings at scale — especially when filtering by seniority, salary, employment type, location, industry, or specific companies. It supports pagination with smart billing (continuation pages are free), making it cost-effective for multi-page job searches. Prefer it over people-search endpoints when the target entity is a job posting rather than a person or company profile.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported filter combinations may return empty results or an error
- Providing an invalid cursor value will fail pagination
- Changing search parameters while passing parentRequestId starts a new billable request
- pageSize exceeding 1000 will be rejected
- Unsupported country/region codes may cause filter errors
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) will block the request

## How this service works

Search for job postings with flexible filtering capabilities 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 job postings matching the specified filters. Each result typically includes job title, company, location, employment type, seniority level, posting date, applicant count, and other metadata. The response also includes a pagination cursor for fetching subsequent pages and a requestId that can be reused as parentRequestId to continue paginating without additional billing charges.
