## 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 exa-ai-web-search-via-aidress-ai-964df19a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the web for the latest research on CRISPR gene editing — use neural search, return 5 results with summaries and highlights so I can see what each page is about.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need AI-powered or neural web search with rich content extraction (text, highlights, summaries) in a single call, especially in agent pipelines that use x402 micropayment rails. Prefer over generic search APIs when semantic relevance ranking or deep search modes (deep, deep-reasoning) are needed.

## Known failure modes

- Query string missing — returns validation error
- numResults exceeds 10 — capped or rejected by x402 tier
- Invalid search type string — defaults or errors
- Payment not fulfilled — x402 payment required response
- Exa upstream timeout — propagated as error
- Empty results — no matching pages found for obscure query
