## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability usajobs-federal-job-search-4ef667ae
```

Example prompt: Can you search USAJOBS for up to 20 open federal government positions related to 'cybersecurity' and show me the job title, agency, location, salary range, and closing date for each?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured federal government job listings from the official USAJOBS source — especially when you need accurate salary data, agency names, closing dates, and direct application links. Prefer this over general job board APIs when the user specifically wants US federal government positions, or when official OPM data is required.

## Known failure modes

- 503 Service Unavailable if USAJOBS_API_KEY or USAJOBS_EMAIL environment variables are not set
- No results returned if keyword matches no active federal postings
- Rate limiting or quota errors from the underlying USAJOBS API
- Network timeouts if the USAJOBS data.gov API is slow or down

## How this service works

US federal job openings from the official USAJOBS Search API: title, agency, location, pay range, closing date, link. Needs a free USAJOBS key (set USAJOBS_API_KEY and USAJOBS_EMAIL); without them the tool answers 503.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a list of federal job postings, each containing a unique job ID, job title, hiring agency, location, annual salary range (min and max), pay period, application closing date, and a direct link to the USAJOBS listing. Also includes total count of matching results, the keyword used, and timestamp of the check.
