## 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 mcp-compiler-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-458f6231
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about OpenAI's new model releases and give me clean, ad-free results I can use as citations.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, up-to-date web and tech news results that are clean and token-efficient — especially when grounding AI agent responses with citations, monitoring tech trends, or researching recent events without the overhead of full web scraping. Prefer it over general web scrapers when you specifically want news and HackerNews community discussion, and need results that are already pruned for token efficiency in LLM contexts.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty query parameter returns validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia unavailable causes empty or degraded results
- Query too vague or too narrow may return zero results
- Payment not fulfilled via x402 results in HTTP 402 response before any results are returned
- Rate limiting or timeout from upstream news sources may delay or truncate results
