## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability openwebninja-realtime-forums-search-5501723b
```

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need results from forum and community discussion sources (as opposed to general web pages, news articles, or social media posts). It is ideal for finding user opinions, troubleshooting discussions, community Q&A, and crowd-sourced knowledge on any topic. Prefer this over general web search when the user wants to know what communities or individuals are saying rather than official sources.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'query' parameter returns validation error
- Invalid 'time' enum value (not one of: any, hour, day, week, month, year) causes bad request
- Invalid 'country' or 'language' code may return empty results or error
- Payment failure (x402) returns 402 Payment Required before query executes
- No forum results found for niche queries returns empty data array
- Rate limiting or upstream search provider downtime returns 5xx error
