## 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 apify-dlfd68ww7-merit-systems-vercel-app-b261c5fe -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the web for 'best practices for deploying LLMs in production' and scrape the top 5 result pages, giving me the full text content of each so I can use it as context in my RAG pipeline.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, up-to-date web content for AI/RAG pipelines — especially when pages are JavaScript-rendered and require a real browser. It's ideal when you need both search and full-page scraping in a single call, rather than just search snippets or static HTML fetches.

## Known failure modes

- Query returns no Google results — empty results array returned
- Target pages block scraping or return CAPTCHAs — partial or empty content for those URLs
- Actor timeout if pages are slow to load — incomplete results
- Invalid or missing query parameter — 400 Bad Request
- Payment failure or insufficient balance — 402 Payment Required
- Apify actor quota or rate limit exceeded — 429 Too Many Requests
