## 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 defi-yield-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-6a8a86f7
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'OpenAI GPT-5 release' and give me clean, ad-free results I can use as grounding context.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, current news and tech community results (especially from HackerNews) in a compact, token-efficient format suitable for LLM grounding — particularly when avoiding ad-laden HTML scraping overhead. Prefer over generic search APIs when the user's context involves tech news, developer discussions, or current events and token budget matters.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or vague query returns few or no results
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia outage causes no results
- Query too broad returns low-relevance mixed results
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 error
- Very niche or highly specialized query may return sparse results
