## 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 firecrawl-search-b9cffe1c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the web for the top 5 results about climate change policy in 2024 and give me the URLs and descriptions.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to find relevant web pages or current information for a given query without needing the full page content — ideal for discovering sources, finding URLs, or getting quick summaries. Prefer this over the Scrape or Crawl endpoints when you don't yet know which specific URLs to visit. Choose this over general-purpose search APIs when you need results optimized for LLM workflows via Firecrawl's pipeline.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if query is too obscure or niche
- Truncated descriptions for long page titles or summaries
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded if too many requests are made
- Invalid or malformed query string returns error
- Network timeout if Firecrawl infrastructure is unavailable
