## 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 pdl-company-search-via-elasticsearch-sql-6742903a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the PDL company database for software companies headquartered in Austin, Texas with between 50 and 500 employees — return the top 10 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need flexible, programmatic access to PDL's 30M+ company database via structured Elasticsearch DSL or SQL queries — ideal for complex multi-field filtering, large-scale prospecting, or when you need pagination support via scroll tokens. Prefer this over simpler company lookup endpoints when you need batch results or advanced query logic rather than a single company enrichment by identifier.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid Elasticsearch DSL syntax returns a query parse error
- SQL syntax errors cause 400 bad request responses
- Requesting a very large `size` may exhaust PDL credits quickly
- Expired or invalid scroll_token results in pagination failure
- No matching records returns an empty results array
- Insufficient USDC balance causes x402 payment failure before query executes

## How this service works

PDL Company Search - Search across 30M+ company records using Elasticsearch DSL or SQL queries. Returns matching company records with pagination via scroll_token. Price scales with the requested `size` (1 PDL credit per result).

## Output

Returns a list of matching company records from the PDL dataset (up to the requested `size`), each containing fields such as company name, website, industry, employee count, location, revenue range, and other firmographic attributes. Also includes a `scroll_token` for paginating through additional results. Credits consumed equal the number of results returned.
