## 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 basebuilder-search-google-ai-overviews-99b79a84 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the Google AI Overview for the search query 'best project management tools for remote teams' and show me what Google's AI summary says?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need Google's AI-generated overview/summary block (SGE) for a search query — distinct from organic results or other search engines. Ideal for SEO research, competitive intelligence on what AI says about a topic, or building applications that need Google's synthesized AI answers.

## Known failure modes

- Query returns no AI Overview if Google hasn't generated one for that topic
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion returning 429 error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol if USDC balance is insufficient
- Query too vague resulting in empty or irrelevant AI overview
- Google blocking or throttling the underlying request returning 503
