## 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 agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-grounding-07052f19
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'Model Context Protocol' and give me clean, ad-free results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs live, real-time news and tech community discussions without processing overhead from ads or irrelevant HTML content. It is particularly well-suited for agents that need to ground responses in current events, track tech trends, or monitor HackerNews sentiment — especially when token efficiency matters. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when clean, structured news output and dual-source (Google News + HackerNews) coverage are priorities.

## Known failure modes

- Empty query string returns a 400 validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia unavailability may result in partial or empty results
- Payment not fulfilled (HTTP 402) if x402 payment header is missing or insufficient
- Rate limiting or network timeouts from upstream sources causing slow or failed responses
- Very niche queries may return zero results if no matching news exists
