## 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 qonoro-buying-intent-detection-c7c68dc6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Check if Salesforce is showing active buying intent for cloud data warehousing solutions — run a standard depth analysis and tell me the intent score, confidence, and key signals you found.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to determine whether a specific named company is actively in-market for a product category before investing sales or marketing effort. It is purpose-built for autonomous agent sales workflows, returning structured signals with typed categories (RFP, competitor switch, job postings, executive statements) rather than raw web data. Prefer it over generic web search when you need scored, normalized intent output ready for CRM enrichment or sales prioritization logic. It is especially valuable as a pre-outreach qualification step or for dynamic ABM list scoring.

## Known failure modes

- Company not found or too small to have public signals — returns low/none intent level with low data quality
- Invalid or unrecognizable company name — may return empty signals array
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 protocol — HTTP 402 or 429 response
- Product category is too vague or broad — may result in low-confidence signals with quality warnings
- Timeout on deep scan depth for companies with sparse public data
- Stale cached results returned (cache_hit: true) when fresh data is needed

## How this service works

x402-native buying-intent detection for autonomous agents. Identifies companies actively evaluating or purchasing in a given product category, with structured signals, confidence scoring, and recommended sales approach.

## Output

Returns a structured response with an overall intent score (0–1), an intent level (high/medium/low/none), a confidence score, a data quality rating, and an array of individual signals each containing a signal type (rfp, vendor_evaluation, tech_stack_change, job_posting_intent, executive_statement, competitor_switch, expansion_triggered, or other), a description, a source URL, a published date, and a confidence value. Also includes source URLs used, cache hit status, a unique request ID, and any quality warnings.
