## 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-web-search-f4a85cc5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the web for 'best open-source LLMs in 2025' and give me the top 5 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs real-time web search results and can pay per-call via x402/USDC on Base chain, especially when integrating search into agentic workflows without needing a dedicated search API subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'query' field returns validation error
- Payment failure on Base chain results in 402 response
- Empty or ambiguous query may return zero results
- Upstream search provider outage causes 5xx error
- Rate limiting if too many requests are sent in quick succession
