## 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-company-search-50352caf -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Find me up to 8 medium-sized fintech companies headquartered in London that were founded after 2015 — I need their names, domains, and a confidence score for each match.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover companies from scratch using filtering criteria (industry, size, location, founding year, keywords) rather than looking up a known company. It is the right choice for lead generation, competitive mapping, market research, or deal sourcing workflows where you don't already have a company name or domain to enrich.

## Known failure modes

- No matching companies found for given filters — empty results array returned
- Overly broad keywords yield low confidence scores and quality warnings
- Invalid size bucket value causes validation error
- founded_after greater than founded_before causes zero results
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) blocks the request
- Ambiguous hq_location string may fail to resolve to a region

## How this service works

Company discovery for autonomous agents: find companies matching industry, headquarters location, size, founding year, or keyword criteria, with sources and confidence scores per match.

## Output

Returns a list of up to 10 matching companies, each with company name, domain, website, industry, headquarters country, founding year, size bucket, and a confidence score.
