## 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-b9d4d2f1
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'Model Context Protocol' and give me clean, ad-free results I can use as citations.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs live, grounded web search results focused on technology news and developer community content (HackerNews), with results pre-cleaned for token efficiency. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when you want zero-bloat, citation-ready output without parsing ads or HTML noise. Especially useful for agents doing real-time grounding, fact-checking against recent news, or summarizing current tech trends.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or overly broad query returns low-relevance results
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia outage causes empty or partial response
- Very niche queries return zero results
- Payment failure via x402 returns HTTP 402 before search executes
- Rate limiting may throttle repeated identical queries
