## 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-cc1ae284 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'OpenAI GPT-5 release' and give me clean, ad-free results I can cite.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs real-time, current web news or HackerNews tech community content for grounding, fact-checking, or citation — especially when token efficiency matters and ad-cluttered or stale cached results are unacceptable. Prefer it over general web scrapers when the focus is news and developer community content rather than arbitrary web pages.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if query is too niche or no recent coverage exists
- Rate limiting or payment failure if x402 micropayment is not handled
- Upstream Google News or HackerNews Algolia unavailability causing timeout or empty response
- Malformed or too-short query string rejected with validation error
- Network latency spikes from live RSS/Algolia fetches causing slow responses

## 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/citation-search)

## Output

A structured set of clean, token-pruned news results aggregated from Google News RSS feeds and HackerNews Algolia search, including article titles, URLs, publication times, and snippets — all stripped of advertising and irrelevant filler content for efficient agent consumption.
