## 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`):

Example prompt: Search PeoplePerHour for freelance jobs matching 'React developer' and 'Next.js developer', sorted by latest, and return up to 20 results per keyword so I can see what clients are currently posting and what budgets they're offering.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable freelance job data from PeoplePerHour specifically — particularly for market research, lead generation, or opportunity monitoring across multiple keywords. Prefer it over general web scrapers because it returns a clean normalized schema with budget, currency, and project ID fields pre-extracted. Choose it over manual browsing when you need to aggregate listings across multiple search terms programmatically.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results returned if search terms yield no matching PeoplePerHour listings (not charged)
- PeoplePerHour website structure changes may break scraping and return nulls for all fields
- Rate limiting or blocking by PeoplePerHour may cause failed runs (not charged)
- Invalid enum value for sort parameter returns an error
- Overly broad queries may hit pagination limits returning incomplete data
