## 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-fa7b8fd3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'OpenAI GPT-5 release' and give me clean, ad-free results I can use to ground my response.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, real-time web and tech news grounding without token waste from ads and HTML bloat — especially for HackerNews developer sentiment or Google News headlines. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when token efficiency matters or when the query is tech/developer-community focused. It is particularly well suited for AI agents needing factual grounding without parsing overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Empty query string returns validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia unavailable causing fetch failure
- Query too broad returns low-relevance or noisy results
- Rate limiting or payment failure (402) if x402 micropayment not processed
- Very niche queries may return zero results
