## 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-4dbfee00
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about Anthropic's Claude model updates and give me clean, ad-free results I can use right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs live, grounded web or tech news results without token bloat or ad noise — especially for HackerNews and Google News coverage of developer and technology topics. Prefer it over generic search APIs when token efficiency and clean output are priorities for agent pipelines, or when grounding LLM responses with real-time news is the goal.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty query parameter returns validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia unavailability causes partial or failed results
- Payment not fulfilled (HTTP 402) if x402 micropayment is not processed
- Query too vague may return low-relevance or empty result sets
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion on upstream sources may reduce result quality
