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-8c27e0f3
```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, up-to-date news or developer community discussions (especially HackerNews) without the token overhead of raw web scraping. It is ideal for grounding AI agents with current events, technology trends, or developer sentiment in a token-efficient, ad-free format. Prefer it over general web scrapers when you specifically want news and HackerNews content combined and pre-cleaned.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing query string returns a 400 validation error
- No results found for highly niche or very recent queries
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia API outage causes degraded or empty results
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if micropayment not processed
- Very long queries may be truncated or return poor-quality results
