## 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 research-methods-search-for-startup-founders-ec55eb8b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for up to 7 current web sources about systematic research methodologies and user research methods that startup founders typically use, and give me the links.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a startup founder or their agent needs current, web-sourced articles and links specifically about research methodologies relevant to early-stage companies. It is preferable over generic web search when the use case is narrowly focused on research methods in a startup context, and when live, linked sources are needed rather than a summarized answer.

## Known failure modes

- Query too vague returns off-topic or low-relevance links
- max_results out of range (below 1 or above 10) causes validation error
- No matching sources found for highly niche queries
- Payment not processed results in 402 error blocking response
- Slow or unavailable upstream web index causes timeout
