## 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-bdee65df
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'LLM agent tool use' and give me a clean, ad-free summary of the top results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, real-time news or tech community discussions (especially HackerNews) with minimal token overhead — ideal for grounding LLM responses with current events, monitoring tech trends, or retrieving clean search results without scraping overhead. Prefer over general web scrapers when you specifically need news freshness and HackerNews technical community signal in a single token-efficient call.

## Known failure modes

- Empty query string returns validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia unavailable causes partial or failed results
- Very niche queries may return zero results
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 may block the request
- Extremely broad queries may return low-relevance results due to RSS feed limitations
