## 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-real-time-web-search-1fc2a128 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the web right now for the latest news about SpaceX Starship launches and give me the top results with titles, URLs, and summaries.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fresh, real-time web search results rather than cached or static data. Ideal for current events, breaking news, or any query where recency matters. Use over static knowledge bases when the information may have changed recently.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing query parameter returns an error
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC causes 402 rejection
- Rate limiting if too many requests are sent quickly
- Empty results if query is too obscure or malformed
- Service unavailability on the Vercel deployment causes 5xx errors
