## 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 talentpulse-salary-benchmark-api-3f9c0234
```

Example prompt: What's the full salary benchmark for a senior software engineer in Austin, Texas — give me entry, mid, and senior pay bands, the median, P25 and P75 percentiles, bonus and equity norms, and show the numbers in USD and EUR.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need granular, location-specific salary benchmarks broken down by experience level with bonus/equity context, especially for recruiting or HR compensation decisions across 50+ countries. Prefer this over generic compensation databases when you need multi-currency output, percentile data, and market context in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Job title not recognized or too ambiguous — returns 404 or empty results
- City or country not covered in the 50+ country dataset — returns 404 or no-data response
- Unsupported currency code requested — returns validation error
- Missing required parameters (job title, location) — returns 400 bad request
- Payment not completed or x402 header missing — returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Salary benchmark by job title, city and country worldwide — pay range and base salary bands by experience level (entry/mid/senior), median and percentile pay, USD equivalent, plus bonus and equity norms and market context. Convert to any currency (USD/GBP/EUR/SGD/INR). 50+ countries, 10 languages, for recruiting, HR and compensation agents.

## Output

Returns base salary bands for entry, mid, and senior experience levels; median and percentile (e.g. P25/P75) pay figures; USD equivalents and optional currency conversions; bonus and equity norms; and market context such as hiring demand signals — all scoped to the specified job title, city, and country.
