## 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 agentshub-web-search-84fd063e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the web for the latest news on OpenAI's new model releases and give me up to 8 results with titles, URLs, and snippets.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs live, up-to-date web search results with minimal latency and per-call micropayment pricing (no subscription required). It is ideal for agents that need real-time information retrieval without managing a search API key, and when normalized, consistent output (title, URL, snippet) is sufficient. Prefer alternatives if you need advanced features like date filtering, domain restriction, image search, or structured SERP data.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or whitespace query returns a validation error
- Limit parameter outside 1–10 range returns a validation error
- Payment failure on Base via x402 results in a 402 Payment Required response with no results
- Network or upstream search provider outage may return a 5xx error
- Query too broad or niche may return fewer results than the requested limit
