## 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 omnicall-multi-platform-research-search-28c74a55
```

Example prompt: Search across GitHub, arXiv, Hacker News, Stack Overflow, Wikipedia, and the web all at once for 'retrieval-augmented generation' — I want to see relevant repos, papers, discussions, and news in one shot.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need broad research coverage across developer, academic, and general knowledge sources simultaneously and want to avoid making 8 separate API calls. Ideal for research agents, dev-discovery workflows, and knowledge aggregation tasks where multi-source synthesis matters. Prefer over single-platform search APIs when the query spans both technical and academic domains (e.g. a new ML framework that has GitHub repos, arXiv papers, and community discussion).

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing 'input' query parameter returns an error
- Downstream source timeouts may cause partial results for some platforms
- Rate limiting or payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) returns 402 Payment Required
- Very short or ambiguous queries may return low-relevance results across sources
- Non-English queries may yield sparse results from some platforms like Stack Overflow

## How this service works

Multi-platform meta-search — web, GitHub, Hacker News, Stack Overflow, arXiv, academic papers, Wikipedia, news in ONE call. For research, dev-discovery, and knowledge agents. Unified search across 8 sources beats single-platform APIs. Keyless, pay-per-call USDC on Base/Solana, no API key, no signup.

## Output

A unified response aggregating results from up to 8 sources: web results (DuckDuckGo-style instant answers), GitHub repositories, Hacker News threads, Stack Overflow Q&As, arXiv preprints, academic papers, Wikipedia summaries, and recent news articles — all for the queried topic in a single response.
