## 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-d9a485a1
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussion about OpenAI's new model releases — I want clean results with no ads or sponsored content.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, current news and tech community discussion rather than static knowledge — especially when grounding AI responses with recent facts, monitoring breaking developments, or checking HackerNews community sentiment. Prefer it over general web scrapers when you want clean, ad-free, token-efficient results from news and developer sources specifically.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if query is too niche or misspelled
- Rate limit or 402 payment required if credentials are missing or quota exceeded
- Stale or no results if upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia is temporarily unavailable
- Timeout if upstream news feeds are slow to respond
