## 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-7126d5e2
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'LLM inference optimization' and give me clean, concise results I can actually use.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs live, current web search results grounded in real news and developer community content (Google News + HackerNews), especially when token efficiency matters and ad/bloat-free output is required. Prefer it over generic search APIs when the use case involves tech news, developer discussions, or current events that benefit from HackerNews community signal. It is particularly well-suited for agentic workflows that need fresh grounding data without post-processing.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or whitespace query returns validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia unavailable causes partial or failed results
- Payment not received (HTTP 402) when x402 payment header is missing or insufficient
- Rate limiting if the endpoint is called too frequently
- Query too broad may return noisy or irrelevant results
