## 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-811f68ec
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about OpenAI's new model releases and give me the top results, clean and without any ad noise.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs real-time web grounding specifically from tech-focused sources (HackerNews, Google News) with minimal token overhead at a predictable $0.01/call cost. Prefer it over generic search APIs when token efficiency matters for LLM context windows, or when the query is technology/news oriented and ad-free cleanliness is required. It is especially well-suited for agents that need to stay current on fast-moving tech topics without integrating a full search engine SDK.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'query' parameter returns a 400 validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia outage results in partial or empty results
- Payment not included or rejected (HTTP 402) when calling without valid x402 payment credentials
- Rate limiting if too many queries are fired in rapid succession
- Very niche or misspelled queries may return zero results
