## 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 preflight-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-364e42ba
```

Example prompt: Can you search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about OpenAI's new model releases and give me a clean summary with no fluff?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs real-time news or developer community grounding from Google News and HackerNews with minimal token overhead and no ad noise — ideal for tech-focused queries, startup monitoring, or framework sentiment analysis. Prefer over generic web scrapers when you need clean, token-efficient output specifically from news and developer-oriented sources.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or very short query returns no meaningful results
- Highly obscure or misspelled queries may yield zero matches from RSS/Algolia
- Rate limiting or upstream Google News RSS unavailability causes partial or empty responses
- Payment not processed (HTTP 402) blocks access to results
- Query too broad returns low-relevance noisy results
