## 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-1086faa0
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about OpenAI's GPT-5 release and give me a clean summary of what's being said right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to ground its responses in live, current web information — especially tech news and HackerNews discussions — without the overhead of full web scraping or paying for premium search APIs. It is ideal when token efficiency matters (token-pruned output), when the user wants zero ad bloat, and when the query targets news or developer community content rather than general web pages. Prefer this over raw RSS parsers or search API wrappers when you want a single clean endpoint combining Google News and HackerNews in one call.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or too-short query returns an error or empty results
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia unavailability causes fetch failures
- Payment not fulfilled (HTTP 402) if x402 micropayment is not completed before the request
- Rate limiting if the same query is hammered in quick succession
- Very niche or highly specific queries may return few or no results
