## 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 apiosk-gateway-tavily-web-search-cec8ebdc -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the web for the latest developments in quantum computing and give me a direct answer summarizing what you find, with deep result depth and images included.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, real-time web search results rather than static knowledge — especially for current events, recent news, or fact-checking. Prefer it over general knowledge queries to an LLM when freshness matters. It is particularly useful when you also want a synthesized answer alongside raw results, or when image results are needed alongside text. Compared to scraping a single URL, this endpoint handles query-based discovery across the open web.

## Known failure modes

- Query string missing or empty – returns 400 bad request
- Tavily API upstream timeout or rate limit – returns 5xx error
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC – returns 402 payment required
- Invalid parameter values for depth or image flags – returns 400 validation error
- No results found for highly niche or malformed queries – returns empty results array

## How this service works

Run a Tavily web search with optional answer, images and result-depth controls.

## Output

Returns a list of web search results including URLs, page titles, and content snippets, optionally with a synthesized natural-language answer and relevant images, controlled by depth and count parameters.
