## 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`):

Example prompt: Can you do a real-time web search for the latest news on quantum computing breakthroughs and show me the top results?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fresh, real-time web search results rather than cached or static data — ideal for breaking news, current events, live pricing, or any query where recency matters. Prefer this over static knowledge bases when the user explicitly asks for current or up-to-date information. Pay-per-call via x402 on Base chain makes it cost-effective for on-demand searches without a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or irrelevant results if query is too vague or ambiguous
- Rate limiting or quota errors if too many calls are made in quick succession
- Payment failure if USDC balance on Base chain is insufficient
- Timeout if the web search takes too long to return results
- Generic error response if the search provider is temporarily unavailable
