## 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 hn-pulse-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-0277e64d
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about WebAssembly in production — I need clean, citation-ready results with no ads.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when your agent needs real-time, citation-ready web and tech news results without ad bloat or token waste — especially for grounding LLM responses with live sources, tracking developer community sentiment on HackerNews, or retrieving breaking tech news. Prefer it over static knowledge or cached search APIs when freshness and token efficiency matter. Best suited for tech and developer-focused topics where HackerNews coverage is strong.

## Known failure modes

- Empty query string returns validation error
- Query with no matching results returns empty result set
- Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia upstream outage causes timeout or partial results
- Payment not settled via x402 results in HTTP 402 response blocking the call
- Very broad queries may return low-relevance results due to RSS feed limitations
