## 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 broker-serp-scraper-live-web-search-tech-news-grounding-a3fb3dec
```

Example prompt: Search the live web for recent news about 'OpenAI GPT-5 release' and give me clean, ad-free results from Google News and HackerNews.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, real-time web search and tech news grounding for an AI agent with minimal token overhead. It is ideal when you want both Google News and HackerNews coverage in a single call, require ad-free and bloat-free results for LLM context windows, and are operating in a micropayment-native (x402) agent environment. Prefer it over general-purpose scrapers when token efficiency and dual-source tech news coverage matter.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if query matches no recent indexed articles
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion from upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia APIs
- Stale results if upstream feeds are temporarily delayed
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Malformed or missing query parameter returns an error
