## 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 aayat-ai-search-answer-451e4f4e
```

Example prompt: Search and summarize what the HTTP 402 status code is used for — read the top 3 pages you find and give me a cited answer.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single-call research answer that combines search, page reading, and summarization across open sources like Wikipedia, Hacker News, DuckDuckGo, and Stack Overflow. It is ideal for factual lookups, technical questions, and topic research where inline citations matter and you don't want to manage multi-step search-then-scrape pipelines. Prefer it over raw search APIs when you want a synthesized prose answer rather than a raw list of links, and over general LLMs when you need up-to-date sourced information rather than training-data recall.

## Known failure modes

- Query too short (under 3 chars) or too long (over 300 chars) returns validation error
- Robots.txt blocks reading on top pages, reducing answer quality or citing fewer sources
- No relevant results found for highly niche or obscure queries
- Network timeout when reading slow external pages
- Premium index not connected — falls back to open-source tier only (Wikipedia, HN, DDG, Stack Overflow)
- pages parameter out of range (must be 1–5) returns validation error

## How this service works

Search, read and summarise in one call (open-sources tier): finds pages via Wikipedia, Hacker News, DuckDuckGo and Stack Overflow, reads the top ones (robots.txt respected) and writes a concise cited answer, plus pages read and all results. Upgrades itself to full-web search (and price) when a premium index is connected. ?q=question&pages=3

## Output

A JSON object containing: a markdown-formatted answer with inline numeric citations (e.g. [1], [2]), an array of pages actually read (with URL, title, and whether reading succeeded), a full list of search results with source index, snippet, and publish date, the search provider used (open or premium), and a timestamp of when the answer was generated.
