## 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 whatchuneed-jobs-industry-lookup-942bccf1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up what industry the job 'biomedical engineer' falls under and get me some relevant industry data about it?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call lookup of industry or job classification data without committing to a subscription, especially within an x402-compatible agentic workflow that handles micropayments automatically. Best for one-off or low-frequency industry lookups where cost-per-call economics are acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or vague input string may return irrelevant or empty results
- Unrecognized industry or job titles may yield low-confidence classifications
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response and no data returned
- Service downtime on the Vercel deployment may cause timeouts or 500 errors
- Ambiguous industry names (e.g. 'tech') may return overly broad results
