## 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 datapipe-api-web-search-cf15b06d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the web for 'best open-source LLM models in 2025' and give me the top 5 results with titles and URLs.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs real-time web search results and can pay per-call via x402 on Base chain. Prefer this over alternatives when you need a lightweight, pay-as-you-go web search without subscription overhead, and when your agent is already integrated with the x402 payment protocol on Base.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'query' field returns validation error
- Invalid or empty query string may return no results
- Payment failure on Base chain blocks request
- Rate limiting may occur if too many requests are made
- Backend search provider unavailable returns 5xx error
- Query too long may be rejected
- 'num' parameter exceeding provider limits may be capped or rejected
