## 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-3c142d50
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'Anthropic Claude tool use' and give me clean, grounded citations I can reference.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs real-time, grounded citations from tech news or HackerNews without the token overhead of full web scraping. Ideal for grounding LLM responses in current events, verifying recent technical claims, or augmenting agent knowledge beyond training cutoff. Preferred over generic web search when token efficiency and ad-free clean output are priorities.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or vague query returns no results or low-relevance articles
- Query for very niche or obscure topics may yield sparse HackerNews results
- Google News RSS may lag behind breaking news by minutes
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if x402 payment is not processed
- Very long queries may produce unpredictable result quality
