## 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-live-web-search-tech-news-grounding-03731c41
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about Rust programming language performance improvements — I need clean, ad-free results grounded in what's happening right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, token-efficient grounding in current tech news and developer community discussions — particularly when combining Google News and HackerNews coverage in one call matters, and when minimizing token consumption from ad-bloated HTML is a priority. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when the use case centers on tech/developer topics and clean output is required for downstream LLM processing.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or overly broad query returns too many low-relevance results
- Query for a very niche topic returns zero results from either source
- Upstream RSS or Algolia API downtime causes empty or error response
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC micropayment is not settled
- Very long query strings may be truncated or misinterpreted
