## 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-live-web-search-tech-news-grounding-110175f7
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about the OpenAI o3 model release and give me clean, ad-free results I can use for grounding.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, real-time web search grounding specifically from Google News and HackerNews with minimal token overhead — ideal for AI agents that need clean citations without ad bloat or irrelevant HTML noise. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when the goal is tech news or developer community discourse, and over static knowledge bases when recency matters.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if query is too narrow or obscure
- Payment failure if x402 USDC balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in a short window
- Stale results if upstream RSS or Algolia feeds are delayed
- Query too short (minLength:1 not met) returns validation error
