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-aaa11830 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solutions and give me clean, ad-free results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, real-time web search results grounded in current Google News and HackerNews content, especially for tech, crypto, DeFi, or open-source topics. It is ideal when token efficiency matters — results are pre-pruned to minimize context window usage. Prefer this over general-purpose scrapers when you need clean, ad-free structured news without parsing overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or very short query may return irrelevant or no results
- Highly niche queries may return sparse HackerNews results
- Google News RSS may have propagation delays for breaking news
- Rate limiting or upstream RSS/Algolia outages could cause failures
- Non-English queries may return inconsistent results
