## 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 citiview-cited-web-answer-b8ced73c
```

Example prompt: What are the current visa requirements for US citizens traveling to Japan? Search 5 live web pages and give me a concise cited answer with numbered sources.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a factual, cited answer grounded in live web content rather than model training data — especially for current events, recent facts, or topics requiring source attribution. Prefer over raw search endpoints when you want a synthesized prose answer, not a list of links. Prefer over document-QA endpoints when the source material is unknown and must be discovered from the web.

## Known failure modes

- No relevant pages found for the query — answer may be empty or vague
- Source pages may be paywalled or inaccessible, reducing answer quality
- Model may hallucinate if source pages are thin or contradictory
- Very recent events (last few hours) may not be indexed yet
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 error

## How this service works

Cited answers: ask a question, get a concise answer written from live web pages with numbered [n] citations and the source list. Searches the web, reads the top pages and writes only from what they say (gpt-oss-120b).

## Output

A concise prose answer synthesized from live web pages, with inline numbered citation markers (e.g. [1], [2]) and a numbered list of source URLs at the end. Number of sources consulted is configurable (2–6, default 4).
