## 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 prompt-guard-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-1c816e4a -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 use as citations.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, real-time grounded citations from both Google News and HackerNews simultaneously, especially when token efficiency matters and you want zero ad bloat. It is ideal for AI agents that need to ground responses with fresh tech and general news without scraping raw HTML or parsing RSS feeds themselves. Prefer it over generic web search APIs when the focus is tech/developer news and citation quality.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or too-short query string returns validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia outage causes fetch failure
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Query returns zero results for very niche or obscure topics
- Network timeout if upstream sources respond slowly
