## 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-d8f689c5 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about OpenAI's new model releases and give me a clean summary with no fluff.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs live, real-time web grounding with news and developer community context (HackerNews) without the token overhead of raw HTML or ad-laden pages. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when the focus is on technology news, developer discussions, and current events, and when clean, token-efficient output is critical for downstream LLM processing. It is especially useful for fact-checking, staying current on rapidly evolving tech topics, or augmenting agent responses with live citations.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if query is too niche or recent events have no indexed coverage yet
- Rate limiting or upstream Google News RSS unavailability causing partial or failed responses
- Malformed or ambiguous query strings returning irrelevant results
- Payment failure (HTTP 402) if x402 USDC micropayment is not properly handled
- Timeout if upstream Algolia or RSS feeds are slow to respond
