## 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 andi-search-api-x402-orthogonal-com-f1e1354d
```

Example prompt: Search for 'best practices for React hooks in 2024' using deep search mode, return up to 20 results in English for the US, and include content extracts so I can see highlights from each page.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, ranked, general-purpose web search with intent-aware result types (images, video, news, weather, computation). It is preferable when you need content extracts, multi-locale support, or safe-search filtering in a single call. Good alternative to direct browser access when you need structured, enrichable results programmatically.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'q' parameter returns a 400 error
- Invalid intent value causes fallback to FallbackSearchIntent or error
- Limit values outside 1-100 may be rejected or clamped
- Invalid country or language code may return unexpected locale results
- Deep search depth may time out on complex queries
- Payment not received or insufficient USDC balance returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Fast, high-quality search API with intelligent ranking, instant answers, and result enrichment.

## Output

Returns a ranked list of search results (up to 100) with titles, URLs, snippets, and optional content extracts/highlights. May include instant answers for weather, computation, or navigational queries. Metadata level (basic or full) controls richness of per-result fields. Intent-specific results (images, videos, news) are prioritized when the corresponding intent is set.
