## 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 email-verify-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-0707cfa1
```

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

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to ground its responses in live, real-time web sources without consuming excessive tokens on ad-heavy HTML. Particularly suited for tech and developer topics where HackerNews community discussion adds value alongside mainstream news. Prefer over generic search APIs when token efficiency and zero-bloat output are priorities, or when you need both Google News and HackerNews results in a single call.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty query string returns a validation error
- Query with no matching results returns an empty result set
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia API unavailability causes fetch failure
- Very broad or ambiguous queries may return low-relevance results
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 may block access
