# Market Research - Comprehensive Market Analysis
## Setup
Read your credentials from ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json:
```bash
export GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json'))['api_key'])")
export GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE=$(python3 -c "import json;print(json.load(open('$HOME/.gooseworks/credentials.json')).get('api_base','https://api.gooseworks.ai'))")
```
If ~/.gooseworks/credentials.json does not exist, tell the user to run: `npx gooseworks login`
All endpoints use Bearer auth: `-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY"`
Research market size, trends, competitors, and growth opportunities for any industry.
## Workflow
### Step 1: Identify Key Players
Find companies in the market:
```bash
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"fiber","path":"/v1/natural-language-search/companies"}'
"query": "AI software companies with over 100 employees, Series B or later funding"
}'
```
### Step 2: Research Company Details
Get detailed info on key players:
```bash
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"fiber","path":"/v1/company-search"}'
"searchParams": {
"company_names": ["OpenAI", "Anthropic", "Cohere"],
"include_financials": true
}
}'
```
### Step 3: Find Decision Makers
Identify leadership at key companies.
**Use Apollo first ($0.01 flat per call — cheapest option):**
```bash
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/apollo/mixed_people/search \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"person_titles": ["CEO", "CTO", "VP Product", "Head of Sales"],
"organization_domains": ["openai.com", "anthropic.com"],
"per_page": 25
}'
```
**Fallback — Fiber people search ($0.02/record):**
```bash
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/fiber/v1/people-search \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"searchParams": {
"company_names": ["OpenAI", "Anthropic"],
"job_titles": ["CEO", "CTO", "VP Product", "Head of Sales"]
}
}'
```
## Example Usage
```bash
# Find companies by industry and size
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"fiber","path":"/v1/natural-language-search/companies"}'
"query": "EdTech companies with 50-500 employees founded after 2018"
}'
# Search by specific criteria
curl -s -X POST $GOOSEWORKS_API_BASE/v1/proxy/orthogonal/run \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $GOOSEWORKS_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"api":"fiber","path":"/v1/company-search"}'
"searchParams": {
"industries": ["Enterprise Software"],
"employee_count_min": 100,
"funding_stage": ["Series A", "Series B"]
}
}'
```
