## 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-baab5a47
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'OpenAI GPT-5' and give me a clean summary of what's being said — no ads or fluff.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs real-time web or tech news grounding that is token-efficient and ad-free. It is especially well-suited for agents that need to stay current on technology, startups, AI, or developer ecosystem news without paying the token cost of scraping raw HTML. Prefer it over generic web search when HackerNews community signals matter, or when clean RSS-derived structured results are preferable to unstructured HTML. It is priced at $0.01 per call via HTTP 402 micropayment, making it cost-effective for frequent real-time lookups.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or vague query returns no results or low-relevance results
- Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia upstream outage causes empty response
- Query too broad returns overwhelming volume of results with low signal
- Rate limiting or HTTP 402 payment failure if micropayment not attached
- Very niche or obscure queries may return no matching articles
