## 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-e8221e8c
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about OpenAI's new model releases — I need clean, ad-free results I can actually use.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to ground responses in live, current web content — especially tech news and developer community discussions — without wasting tokens on ads or boilerplate. It is ideal when you need both Google News and HackerNews coverage in a single call with automatic token pruning, making it more efficient than raw web scraping or general SERP APIs for agent workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or ambiguous query string returns no results or an error
- Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia upstream outage causes failure to retrieve results
- Very niche or misspelled query returns zero matching articles
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) blocks the request
- Query too short (minLength:1 not met) triggers a validation error
