## 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 alpha-stream-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-2e7aa4fa -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search live Google News and HackerNews right now for the latest articles and discussions about 'OpenAI GPT-5 release' and give me clean, citation-ready results with no ads.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs real-time, citation-quality web grounding from Google News and HackerNews specifically, with guaranteed token-efficient, ad-free output. Prefer it over general web scrapers when you need clean developer and tech news sources, or when token budget matters and you cannot afford ad-bloated HTML. Particularly suited for agentic pipelines that need structured, low-noise results for RAG or fact-checking without building their own news parsing layer.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or irrelevant results if query is too vague or niche
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia API unavailability causing fetch failures
- Rate limiting or payment errors (HTTP 402) if the per-call micropayment is not fulfilled
- Malformed or overly long query strings rejected at validation
- Stale or no results for queries about very recent breaking events not yet indexed
