## 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 brave-search-scraper-via-scrapeforagents-337e4668 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Brave for up to 3 pages of web results about 'electric vehicle incentives 2024' and 'EV tax credits' in English for the US, including news and video extras, filtered to content from the past month — give me the structured list of titles, URLs, and descriptions.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, paginated Brave Search results across web, image, video, or news result types, especially when you want pay-per-successful-call pricing (failed/empty runs are free). Prefer it over generic scraping endpoints when you need typed SERP metadata (position, resultType, source) rather than raw HTML, and when you want to batch multiple queries in a single call with localization support.

## Known failure modes

- Empty result set if queries return no matches — run is not charged
- Invalid country or language code returns localization errors or falls back to defaults
- Exceeding maxPages limit of 10 causes validation error
- Unsupported searchType enum value causes request rejection
- Network timeout or upstream Brave Search unavailability returns error response

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a count of results and an items array. Each item includes the result URL, page number, originating query, title, source domain, rank position, result type (web/image/video/news/etc.), and a description snippet. The product field confirms 'brave'.
