## 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-f9aac5cf
```

Example prompt: Can you search for the latest news on 'OpenAI GPT-5 release' and give me the top results without any ad clutter or irrelevant filler?

## When to prefer this

Prefer this endpoint when an AI agent needs live, up-to-date news grounding without token waste from ad-heavy HTML pages. It is ideal for tech and developer-focused queries where HackerNews coverage matters, and when token efficiency is critical (e.g., in long agentic pipelines). It outperforms generic web scrapers when clean, structured article metadata is needed quickly at low cost ($0.01/call).

## Known failure modes

- Empty or too-short query returns no results or an error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia API unavailability causes fetch failure
- Very niche or misspelled queries return zero matching articles
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) blocks the request
- Transient network timeouts from upstream RSS/Algolia feeds
