## 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-live-web-search-tech-news-ac5fb32a
```

Example prompt: Search live tech news and HackerNews for the latest articles on 'OpenAI GPT-5 release' and give me clean, summarized results with no ads.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, up-to-date news or tech articles (especially from HackerNews) delivered in a clean, token-efficient format without ad bloat. Ideal for AI agents that need to ground responses in current events without wasting context window on HTML noise. Prefer over general web scrapers when the target is news/tech content specifically, and over static datasets when recency matters.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or very short query returns no results
- Query too broad returns low-relevance mixed results
- Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia upstream unavailability causes partial or empty response
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if micropayment is not processed
- Timeout if upstream news sources are slow to respond

## Output
