## 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 vaaya-openfunnel-tech-companies-finder-fdd698db -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Find me companies using Salesforce with between 50 and 500 employees headquartered in the US, discovered in the last 90 days, and enrich their contact info too.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to identify real companies actively using a specific technology — ideal for B2B prospecting, sales outreach targeting, competitive intelligence, or partnership discovery. Prefer it over generic company search APIs when technology adoption is the primary filter criterion.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'tech' field returns a validation error
- Invalid country code format (not exactly 3 characters) causes rejection
- Page number out of range (>1000) returns an error
- No matching companies found returns an empty result set
- Enrichment may be incomplete if company data is unavailable

## How this service works

Find companies whose recent JOB POSTS mention a technology via OpenFunnel (SYNC, 50 results/page): { tech } (e.g. "Snowflake") + optional `variations` (OR-matched phrasings, e.g. ["K8s"]), `lookback_days` (≤365), `page`, `enrich` (firmographics), `hq_country_code` (alpha-3), min/max_employee_count (filters auto-enable enrich), `include_evidence` (the job-post snippet — the outreach hook). Perfect for "sell to companies running X" and competitor-displacement plays.

## Output

A list of companies that use the specified technology, including company profiles and optional enrichment data such as contact details and evidence of technology adoption, paginated and filterable by employee count, HQ country, and recency.
