## 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-cab48fa7 -d '<json body>'
```

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 citations.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, real-time web search results grounded in both mainstream tech news (Google News RSS) and developer community sources (HackerNews), and you want token-efficient output with zero ad noise. Ideal for AI agents that need to ground responses in current events without consuming excessive context window space. Prefer over generic web scrapers when you specifically want HackerNews developer sentiment alongside news coverage, and when you need clean structured citations rather than raw HTML.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or too-short query returns a validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia API unavailability causes degraded or empty results
- Payment failure (402) if x402 USDC payment is not properly attached
- Rate limiting or timeout if the upstream sources are slow to respond
- Malformed query string may yield irrelevant or zero results
