## 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 soc-occupation-title-resolver-4fa98e71
```

Example prompt: What are the top 5 SOC code matches for the job title 'machine learning engineer'?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint as the first step in a prevailing-wage workflow when you only have a job title and need to identify the correct SOC code before fetching wage data. Prefer this over general-purpose search when you specifically need official SOC classifications with match scores for HR, immigration (H-1B/PERM), or compensation benchmarking workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'occupation' query parameter returns a 400 error
- Very obscure or misspelled job titles may return low-confidence matches or an empty candidate list
- Limit value outside 1-25 range is rejected with a validation error
- Payment failure (x402) blocks the request if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

Resolve an occupation title to ranked SOC candidates, each with the SOC code, official title and a match score. The cheap first step before a prevailing-wage determination when only a job title is known.

## Output

A ranked list of SOC candidates, each containing the SOC code, official government occupation title, and a numeric match score indicating how well it aligns with the input job title. Returns up to the requested limit (default 10, max 25).
