## 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-live-web-search-tech-news-grounding-4f953770
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'OpenAI GPT-5 release' and give me the clean, ad-free results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, real-time web and tech news results grounded in current data rather than cached or static datasets, especially for AI agent grounding tasks where token efficiency matters. It is ideal when you want both mainstream news (Google News RSS) and developer/hacker community signal (HackerNews) in a single call, without paying for a full web scraping or search API subscription. Prefer it over generic search APIs when token budget is tight and ad-free, clean output is required.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or whitespace query string returns a validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia unavailability causes partial or failed results
- Very niche queries may return zero results
- Payment failure (HTTP 402) if x402 USDC micropayment is not supplied
- Rate limiting if query volume exceeds allowance
