## 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-91d75192
```

Example prompt: Can you search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about OpenAI's o3 model and give me a clean summary of what's being said right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs real-time, clean, token-efficient news or tech community search results without parsing ads or HTML noise. It is especially valuable for grounding LLM responses with live information, monitoring developer sentiment on HackerNews, or quickly briefing an agent on recent events — all via a single lightweight GET call at low per-query cost.

## Known failure modes

- Empty query string returns a validation error
- Query too broad may return generic or low-relevance results
- Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia may be temporarily unavailable causing partial or empty results
- Rate limiting or payment failure (402) if the x402 micropayment is not processed
- Very niche or obscure queries may return few or no results
