## 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 theirstack-tech-keyword-catalog-search-69c15cca -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the TheirStack tech catalog for 'Salesforce' to get the exact case-sensitive slug I need before filtering companies by that technology — return up to 10 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint whenever you need to resolve a technology or buying-intent topic name into a valid TheirStack slug before passing it to TheirStack job or company search endpoints. It is the mandatory first step in any TheirStack filtering workflow — without valid slugs, downstream filters will fail or return incorrect results. Prefer this over guessing slugs manually, as slugs are case-sensitive and may differ from the display name.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if query term doesn't match any tracked keyword
- Wrong keyword_type filter returns empty set if enum value is misspelled
- Slug mismatch in downstream calls if slug is used case-insensitively
- Limit parameter ignored or defaulted to 25 if not provided
- Network timeout if TheirStack upstream is unavailable
- Payment failure if insufficient USDC balance for the $0.01 fee

## How this service works

TheirStack — Search the catalog of tracked keywords: technologies AND buying-intent topics. The slug resolver for every other theirstack filter (slugs are case-sensitive). Pass `q` (free-text search); optional `keyword_type` ("technology" = techs only), `keyword_type_not` ("technology" = intent topics only), `category_slug`, `limit` (default 25). Free upstream — always resolve slugs here before filtering jobs/companies by technology.

## Output

Returns a list of matched keyword/technology entries from TheirStack's catalog, each with a case-sensitive slug, display name, keyword type (technology or intent topic), and category. These slugs are required inputs for subsequent TheirStack company or job filtering API calls.
