## 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 openweb-ninja-realtime-web-search-ai-mode-b9b859c9
```

Example prompt: Search the web right now for 'best practices for deploying LLMs in production 2025' and give me a structured AI-generated summary with sources — use English results from the US.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a real-time, AI-synthesized answer to a natural language query with structured output (reply parts + reference links) and no account or API key — especially when you want Google AI-mode-style summarization at $0.003 per call payable via USDC over x402. Prefer it over raw SERP endpoints when you want a pre-synthesized answer rather than a list of raw search results, and over LLM-only endpoints when you need live, cited web data rather than training-data knowledge.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'prompt' query parameter returns a validation error
- Payment not provided or rejected over x402 results in HTTP 402 with payment instructions
- Invalid gl/hl locale codes may return unexpected or empty results
- Session token expiry may require starting a new session for follow-up queries
- Rate limits or upstream search provider outages may cause 5xx errors

## How this service works

40+ public web-data, SERP, e-commerce, real-estate, finance and AI-search APIs, payable per call over x402 (USDC on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum). No account or API key required. Most endpoints $0.003; AI-model endpoints $0.005.

## Output

A structured JSON object containing reply_parts (text blocks, ordered/unordered lists, and images), a list of reference_links (title, URL, source, snippet, date, favicon), request metadata including echo'd parameters, a status string, and an optional session_token for follow-up queries.
