## 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 auor-io-oreo-tavily-web-search-3d76bbf8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the web for the latest news on OpenAI's GPT-5 release and give me a summary of what you find.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, up-to-date web search results beyond a static knowledge cutoff, especially within an x402-compatible agent workflow. It wraps Tavily's search API with micropayment support, making it ideal for agents that need to research current events, find recent articles, verify facts online, or gather real-time information from the web.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or irrelevant results if the query is too vague or niche
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient (x402 payment required)
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded errors from the underlying Tavily API
- Timeout if the web search takes too long
- Malformed request if required 'input' fields are missing or incorrect
