## 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-599ed239
```

Example prompt: Search live tech news and HackerNews right now for 'OpenAI GPT-5 release' and give me clean, ad-free results I can use to ground my answer.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, real-time news and tech article grounding without ad bloat or token overhead — especially for HackerNews and Google News coverage of developer, startup, and technology topics. Prefer it over general web scrapers when token efficiency matters and the focus is on tech/developer news rather than broad consumer web search.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or too-short query returns validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia API unavailability causes failed fetch
- Payment not attached or insufficient USDC balance returns HTTP 402
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion from upstream search providers
- Query returning zero results for niche or highly specific topics
