## 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-ee1f8aa0 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search live news and HackerNews right now for 'OpenAI GPT-5 release date' and give me the cleanest, most relevant results — no ads, no filler.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to ground responses in live, up-to-date news or tech discussions without parsing ad-heavy HTML or wasting tokens on bloat. It is ideal for fact-checking, trend research, and real-time event grounding where clean token-efficient output matters — especially when HackerNews community signal combined with Google News coverage is more valuable than a general web crawl.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if query is too obscure or niche with no recent coverage
- Upstream RSS or Algolia API timeout causing delayed or failed response
- Malformed or overly long query string rejected due to minLength/maxLength constraints
- Rate limiting or 402 payment required if USDC micropayment not properly attached
- Stale results if Google News RSS cache has not refreshed for the queried topic
