## 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 pocket-network-web-search-serp-c51fe070 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the web for the latest news about OpenAI's GPT-5 release and give me the top results with titles, URLs, and snippets.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, real-time web search results without setting up an account or API key, and are comfortable paying micro-amounts per request in USDC. It is well-suited for AI agents operating in x402 payment environments that need on-demand web lookups. Prefer it over API-key-based search services when stateless, permissionless access is a priority.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or vague query returns low-relevance or no results
- HTML entities in snippets may require client-side decoding
- Results are non-deterministic and vary between runs for the same query
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) returns 402 error
- Malformed request body missing the `query` field returns a validation error
- DuckDuckGo Lite service outage or rate limiting on the upstream side can cause failures
