## 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 mesh-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-grounding-a3117df2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'Rust async runtime performance' 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, up-to-date news or technical community discussion results injected directly into an LLM context window with minimal token overhead. It is preferable over generic web scrapers when token efficiency matters, and over static knowledge bases when recency is critical. Ideal for AI agents that need real-time grounding without processing ad-heavy HTML pages.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or too-short query string returns validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia API unavailable causes partial or failed results
- Payment not provided or invalid causes HTTP 402 rejection
- Rate limiting if too many concurrent requests
- Query returns zero results for very niche or misspelled terms
