## 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-818e6d42 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'Anthropic Claude tool use' and give me clean, ad-free results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to ground its response with live, current web information — especially tech news and HackerNews community discussion — and token efficiency matters. Prefer it over generic web search proxies when you want zero ad bloat, minimal token overhead, and dual-source coverage (Google News RSS + HackerNews Algolia) in a single call at a low flat cost of $0.01 per query.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or whitespace query returns a validation error
- Query yields no results if topic is too obscure or recent
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia API downtime causes partial or failed results
- Payment not processed via x402 results in HTTP 402 response before results are returned
- Very broad queries may return low-signal results due to RSS feed limits
