## 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-522a2149
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about OpenAI's new model releases — I need clean, ad-free results to ground my response.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to ground responses in live, current web content — especially from tech-focused sources like HackerNews — without parsing ad-laden HTML. It is preferable over generic web scrapers when token efficiency matters and the use case involves tech or developer news. Ideal for fact-checking, news grounding, or surfacing community reactions to technology topics.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty query parameter returns a 400 error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia API unavailability causes fetch failure
- Payment not provided or insufficient (HTTP 402) when x402 micropayment not attached
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in a short window
- Query too vague may return low-relevance results
