## 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 apollo-web-search-via-brave-search-api-f8dc8b9c
```

Example prompt: Search the web for 'best open-source AI agent frameworks in 2025' and give me the top 10 results with titles, URLs, and descriptions.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs live web search results with titles, URLs, and snippets — especially when Brave Search's privacy-focused index is preferred, when results need to be filtered to a specific domain via the 'site' parameter, or when operating in a pay-per-call x402 micropayment context rather than a subscription-based search API.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'q' parameter returns validation error
- count parameter outside 1-20 range may return default or error
- Rate limiting or upstream Brave Search API outage returns 5xx
- Invalid site filter returns empty results rather than an error
- Payment not processed (x402) results in 402 response before search executes
