## 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 socialfetch-linkedin-people-search-55f955ba -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you search LinkedIn for people named Marcus Chen — I'm trying to find professionals with that name.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search LinkedIn for people by name, such as for lead generation, background research, identifying professionals, or verifying someone's LinkedIn presence. Prefer this over general web search when you specifically want structured LinkedIn profile data keyed on a person's name.

## Known failure modes

- Neither firstName nor lastName provided — returns validation error
- Name not found on LinkedIn — returns empty results list
- Rate limiting or payment failure — returns 402 or 429 error
- Extremely common names may return large or paginated result sets
- LinkedIn data may be stale or incomplete

## Output

A list of LinkedIn people profiles matching the provided first and/or last name, including profile details such as name, headline, and other publicly available LinkedIn profile fields.
