## 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 agentsvc-discussion-search-ed3fb5b0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Hacker News, Bluesky, and Lemmy for the top 10 discussions mentioning 'x402' from the last 90 days, sorted by top, and include the top 3 comments for each thread.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to discover and aggregate community discussions across Hacker News, Bluesky, and Lemmy simultaneously — particularly useful for tracking how a specific URL or topic is being received by developer and tech communities. Prefer this over general web search when you want structured social signals (points, comment counts, top comments) rather than raw web pages, and when you specifically care about these three platforms rather than Twitter/Reddit.

## Known failure modes

- No results found if query is too niche or no recent threads exist for the given time window
- Rate limiting or upstream platform unavailability may cause partial results or empty source arrays
- Invalid URL format for the url parameter causes a validation error
- Exceeding limit maximum of 20 or comments maximum of 5 returns a schema validation error
- Payment failure via x402 results in 402 response and no data returned
