## 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-39a4555c
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news about OpenAI's GPT-5 release and give me clean, ad-free results I can actually use — pull from Google News and HackerNews.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs real-time, token-efficient news or tech article results without processing overhead from ad-laden HTML pages. It is ideal when grounding LLM responses with current events, when developer community sentiment from HackerNews is needed alongside general news, or when token budget is constrained and clean output is required. Prefer this over raw web scrapers when you want pre-aggregated, deduplicated, and token-pruned results from both mainstream tech news and the developer community simultaneously.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or too-short query string returns a validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia API unavailability causes a fetch failure
- Query returning no matching results yields an empty results array
- Payment not fulfilled (HTTP 402) blocks access to the endpoint
- Rate limiting or network timeouts on upstream sources degrade result freshness

## How this service works

Executes live Google News RSS + HackerNews Algolia search queries and returns clean, token-pruned results with zero ad bloat. (Live x402 v2, IETF MPP & MCP endpoint at https://preflight.agentdiet.dev/v1/news-extractor)

## Output

Returns a structured, token-pruned list of news results aggregated from Google News RSS feeds and HackerNews Algolia search, including article titles, URLs, publication timestamps, and brief summaries — all stripped of advertising and irrelevant markup to minimize token usage for downstream AI processing.
