Third-party monitors may report differently. ## 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 payscale-company-pay-benefits-lookup-d1a38317 ``` Example prompt: Pull up the PayScale pay and benefits breakdown for Microsoft — I want to see salary percentiles, bonus ranges, retirement and health benefit types, and the job satisfaction score. ## When to prefer this Use this endpoint when you need structured, percentile-based US compensation and benefits data sourced from PayScale for a specific employer — ideal for salary benchmarking, HR research, benefits analysis, or company due diligence. Prefer it over generic job-board scrapers when you need percentile distributions (p10–p90) across multiple pay types and official benefits categorization in a single call. ## Known failure modes - Unknown or misspelled employer key returns no data or an empty result - Employer with very few PayScale respondents may have null percentiles for some pay types (e.g. commission) - Company name ambiguity may resolve to a wrong or unintended employer - PayScale data may be stale for less-covered employers; check lastUpdated field - Rate limiting or payment failure returns HTTP 402 or 429 ## How this service works Pay-per-call company registry, government, legal and B2B data tools for AI agents, from official registers and public sources. Payment: x402, USDC on Base, Solana, Arc, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad, World Chain, Optimism, Avalanche, Celo or Stellar, or RLUSD/XRP on the XRP Ledger. No signup, no API key; a failed call is not charged. ## Output A JSON object with: pay breakdown (salary, bonus, total pay, commission, hourly rate, profit sharing) each with p10/p25/median/p75/p90 percentiles and sample sizes; company info (name, HQ, founded date, website, industries, employee count range); benefits summary including health and retirement plan types, most-reported benefits with counts, and a narrative summary; workplace metrics (satisfaction score, stress score, male/female percentage, comparable employers); top geographic locations; PayScale key and data freshness timestamps. ## Request schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "object", "$schema": "https://json-schema.org/draft/2020-12/schema", "required": [ "input" ], "properties": { "input": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type", "method" ], "properties": { "type": { "type": "string", "const": "http" }, "method": { "enum": [ "GET" ], "type": "string" }, "queryParams": { "type": "object", "required": [ "employer" ], "properties": { "employer": { "type": "string", "description": "PayScale employer key (Google%2C_Inc., Microsoft_Corp, Starbucks_Corporation) or company name; a payscale.com employer URL also works" } } } }, "additionalProperties": false }, "output": { "type": "object", "required": [ "type" ], "properties": { "type": { "type": "string" }, "example": { "type": "object" } } } } } ``` ## Response schema (JSON Schema) ```json { "type": "json", "example": { "pay": { "bonus": { "p10": 3439.01, "p25": 7772.37, "p75": 23485.94, "p90": 34016.63, "median": 14671.44, "profiles": 114 }, "salary": { "p10": 87387.85, "p25": 113311.33, "p75": 167798.87, "p90": 195140.95, "median": 140489.91, "profiles": 194 }, "totalPay": { "p10": 82798.17, "p25": 112638.67, "p75": 182986.17, "p90": 220619.32, "median": 146514.03, "profiles": 222 }, "commission": { "p10": null, "p25": null, "p75": null, "p90": null, "median": 5000, "profiles": 4 }, "hourlyRate": { "p10": 26.08, "p25": 33.12, "p75": 56.94, "p90": 75.39, "median": 43.12, "profiles": 28 }, "profitSharing": { "p10": 2892.25, "p25": 6363.51, "p75": 24278.16, "p90": 41786.12, "median": 12945.38, "profiles": 25 } }, "source": "https://www.payscale.com/research/US/Employer=Microsoft_Corp/Benefits", "company": { "hq": "Redmond, Washington, 98052, United States", "name": "Microsoft", "type": "company", "founded": "1975-04-04", "website": "http://www.microsoft.com", "industries": [ "Collaboration", "Developer Tools" ], "employeesMax": 1000000, "employeesMin": 10001 }, "benefits": { "health": [ "Health Insurance", "Life Insurance" ], "summary": "At Microsoft Corp, they provide several options for pension and welfare benefits.
