## 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 wellfound-job-listings-scraper-b00e6217 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Wellfound for full-time software engineer jobs in San Francisco and New York, remote also fine, paying at least $120k — grab up to 200 results and include salary and company details for each listing.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, filterable job listing data specifically from Wellfound (the leading startup job marketplace), especially when you want to filter by role, location, remote status, employment type, or minimum salary. Prefer this over general job-search APIs when your focus is startup and early-stage company roles. The pay-per-call model and no-charge-on-failure policy make it cost-effective for exploratory searches.

## Known failure modes

- Empty result set if role query matches no Wellfound listings (not charged)
- Invalid role or location slug returns no results or mismatched listings
- Wellfound page structure changes may break scraping temporarily
- Rate limiting or bot detection by Wellfound may cause partial or failed runs (not charged if empty)
- salaryMin filter excludes all jobs without listed salaries, possibly returning zero results
- Very high maxResults or maxPages values may result in long execution times or timeouts

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a count of matched listings and an array of job items, each containing fields such as id, slug, title, applyUrl, detailUrl, portalUrl, plain-text description, and HTML description. When enrichDetail is enabled, additional structured fields like salary range, company website, industry, and address are included. The product field confirms the data source as 'wellfound'.
