## 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 api-direct-google-web-search-704bca0e
```

Example prompt: Search Google for 'best open-source LLM frameworks 2024' and show me the top 10 organic results including titles, URLs, and snippets — use the US region and English language.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time Google organic search results with structured metadata (position, URL, snippet, domain) per result. Prefer it over static datasets or cached indexes when freshness matters, when you need country- or language-specific SERPs, when you want to simulate mobile vs desktop search behavior, or when you need Google's AI Overview. Each page of 10 results is billed separately at $0.005 USDC.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'query' parameter returns 400 error
- Country code not exactly 2 characters returns 400
- Language code not exactly 2 characters returns 400
- 'pages' value above 10 returns 400
- Query exceeding 500 characters returns 400
- Payment failure due to insufficient USDC balance
- No results returned for highly niche or nonsensical queries
- AI overview field is null when Google generates no overview for the query

## How this service works
