## 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 anicca-x402-web-search-fce74d4e
```

Example prompt: Search the web for the latest news about OpenAI's GPT-5 release and give me the top 3 results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when your AI agent needs live web search results but you don't want to manage or provision your own Exa or search API credentials. It's ideal for agents operating in keyless environments, serverless pipelines, or when you want pay-per-use pricing in USDC on Base via x402 rather than a subscription. Prefer this over self-managed Exa/SerpAPI when simplicity and crypto-native micropayment settlement matter more than volume discounts.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required query parameter 'q' returns a 400 bad request
- Payment not completed via x402 returns a 402 Payment Required before results are served
- Upstream Exa search service outage may return 502 or 503 errors
- Invalid numResults value outside 1-5 range may return an error or be clamped
- Network timeout if the upstream search takes too long

## How this service works

Live web search (keyless — no Exa/API account needed, we pay upstream) and real-time cross-exchange crypto funding-rate data + arbitrage signals, paid per call in USDC on Base via x402. For AI agents that need live data without holding any API keys.

## Output

Returns a list of web search results matching the query, each typically including a page title, URL, and a text snippet. The number of results is controlled by the numResults parameter (1–5, default 3).
