## 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 new people matching specific professional criteria (title, company, skills, location, seniority) and don't already have a known email or LinkedIn URL. Prefer this over people enrichment endpoints when you're building a prospecting list from scratch rather than looking up a known individual.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned when filters are too restrictive or niche
- Vague or incomplete input fields yield low-quality or irrelevant matches
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 response
- Upstream provider outage may cause slow or empty responses
- Results may be outdated if the underlying data provider has stale records
