## 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 agentbit-web-search-312780eb -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the web for the latest news about OpenAI's new model releases from the past 7 days — give me the top 5 results with titles, URLs, and snippets.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need fresh, real-time web search results and cannot rely on a model's training data — especially for current events, recent documentation, pricing, news, or any fact that changes over time. Prefer it over static knowledge lookups when recency matters. The automatic provider failover makes it more reliable than single-provider search APIs.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for very niche or malformed queries
- Provider failover latency if primary search provider is unavailable
- Freshness filter too restrictive returns empty result set
- Query too vague returns irrelevant results
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) if USDC balance insufficient

## How this service works

Live web search for AI agents: returns ranked results with title, URL, snippet, publish date and source. Neural + keyword search across the current web with automatic provider failover. Use it to find recent news, documentation, competitors, prices or any fact that needs a fresh source.

## Output

A ranked list of web results, each containing the page title, URL, snippet or description, publish date, and source domain. Results are ordered by relevance using a hybrid neural and keyword scoring approach. The response reflects the current, live web at time of call.
