## 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-cb214ac6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about Rust language adoption in 2025 and give me a clean summary with no ads?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs real-time, token-efficient web grounding from tech-focused sources (Google News and HackerNews) without dealing with ad bloat or heavy HTML parsing. Ideal for LLM grounding workflows, tech trend monitoring, and developer-community sentiment checks where a clean, compact payload matters for token budgets. Prefer it over general web scrapers when the focus is news and tech community content.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or whitespace query returns validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia unavailable causes partial or failed results
- Payment not provided or insufficient funds returns HTTP 402
- Overly broad or ambiguous query may return low-relevance results
- Rate limiting or network timeouts from upstream news sources
