## 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-c8c17b97
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about OpenAI's new model releases and give me clean, citation-ready results with no ad noise.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, up-to-date web and tech news results that are already token-pruned and ad-free, making them immediately usable in agent pipelines without further cleaning. It is particularly well-suited over generic search APIs when token efficiency matters, when HackerNews community discussion is valuable alongside mainstream news, or when you need grounding citations for AI-generated content without expensive scraping overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or whitespace query returns validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia outage results in partial or no results
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if x402 payment is not properly attached
- Very niche or misspelled queries may return zero results
- Results may be slightly delayed if RSS feeds have not refreshed recently
