## 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-security-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-bf378b0b
```

Example prompt: Can you search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about OpenAI's new model releases and give me the top results, clean and without any ads?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, real-time web and tech news search results that are token-efficient and ad-free — especially for AI agent grounding tasks where token budget matters. It is ideal over generic web scrapers when you specifically want news and HackerNews tech community content combined in one clean call, and when you want results pre-pruned for LLM consumption without extra processing.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty query parameter returns an error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia API unavailability causes failed or empty results
- Overly broad queries may return irrelevant or noisy results
- Payment not processed (HTTP 402) if x402 USDC payment is not included
- Rate limiting if too many calls are made in quick succession
