## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to look up or discover companies from job listing data via a simple natural language query, especially within the WhatChuNeed aggregated API ecosystem where a single x402 payment covers access. Prefer this over dedicated job board APIs when you need a pay-per-call model without subscription commitments.

## Known failure modes

- Input query too broad may return unfiltered large dataset
- Service unavailable returns error status
- Payment of 0.2 USDC not processed results in 402 response
