## 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 agents-openwebninja-com-search-light-real-time-organic-web-search-b31cbfb2
```

Example prompt: Search Google for 'best open source LLM frameworks 2024' and give me the top 10 organic results — just the titles, URLs, and snippets, no AI overviews.

## When to prefer this

Use Search Light when you need fast, lightweight organic Google results and do not need AI Overviews, knowledge graph panels, or a total result count. It is cheaper and faster than the full Search endpoint. Prefer it for bulk queries, real-time lookups, rank checking, and research tasks where raw organic URLs and snippets are sufficient. Use the full Search endpoint instead when you need the complete SERP including featured snippets, knowledge graph, or result totals.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required query parameter 'q' returns a validation error
- Narrow or very specific queries may return fewer results than the requested 'num' value because Google does not hold full depth
- Invalid country code (gl) or language code (hl) may default to 'us'/'en' or return an error
- Exceeding the maximum 'num' of 300 returns a validation error
- Insufficient request credits results in a 402 payment required response
- Rate limiting may occur if too many requests are made in quick succession

## How this service works

Lightning fast endpoint for getting organic web search results in real-time.  
  Returns raw organic results only, without AI Overviews, knowledge graph, or a total result count - use the Search endpoint when you need the full SERP.  
  Supports all Google Advanced Search operators (site:, inurl:, intitle:, etc).  
  Each request consumes 1 request credit.

## Output

An array of organic search result objects, each containing position (1-based rank), title, URL, domain, snippet, and optionally a thumbnail image URL and published Unix timestamp. Also includes a status string and a unique request_id for tracing.
