## 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 enrich-gate-google-web-search-serper-backed-42980a0d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the web for 'best open-source LLM benchmarks 2024' and give me the top 5 results with their titles and URLs.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic Google web search results without managing your own Serper or Google API keys, and want a simple pay-per-call model. Prefer it over sibling endpoints when keyword-based Google indexing is more appropriate than neural/semantic search (Exa). Good for factual lookups, current events, and URL discovery.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing query returns an error
- Serper API backend outage causes 5xx response
- Invalid num parameter (non-integer or negative) may cause error or be ignored
- Payment failure (x402) blocks the call
- Rate limits or quota exhaustion on Serper backend
