## 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-x402-3a113f7f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Brave for up to 50 web results about 'open source LLM frameworks' in English, including news and video extras, filtered to the past month — and return all structured results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable Brave Search results across web, image, video, or news types with pay-per-successful-call pricing (no charge for empty runs). Prefer it over general scraping endpoints when you want native search engine ranking, localization by country and language, safe-search control, and optional extras like news, FAQs, discussions, and info panels in a single call. Ideal for agents needing cost-efficient, on-demand search without a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Empty result set — not charged, returned as count:0
- Invalid country or language code — may fall back to defaults or return error
- Queries array empty or missing — validation error
- maxPages exceeding 10 — rejected by schema
- Network or upstream Brave Search outage — call may fail and not be charged
- Time filter applied to image search — silently ignored per documentation

## 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 array of items, each containing the result URL, page number, originating query, title, source domain, position in results, result type (web/news/video/image/discussion/FAQ/location/infoPanel), and a text description or snippet. The product field confirms the underlying search engine used (brave).
