## 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-f190e19f
```

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

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, up-to-date web search results specifically from Google News and HackerNews with minimal token overhead — ideal for AI agents that need to ground responses in current events or developer discourse without wasting context window on ads or boilerplate. Prefer this over general web scrapers when you specifically want tech/news-focused results in a token-efficient format.

## Known failure modes

- Empty query string returns a validation error
- Highly obscure or niche queries may return zero results
- Rate limiting or upstream RSS/Algolia outages may cause empty or error responses
- Payment not processed (HTTP 402) if x402 micropayment fails
- Results may be stale if upstream feeds have propagation delay
