Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability kiteendpoints-ai-web-search-api-37ab4998 -d '<json body>'

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs live, up-to-date web search results and can pay per request in USDC on Base chain. Useful when the agent lacks built-in browsing capability or needs to offload search to an external paid service with x402 payment support.
