## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability rotary-agency-exa-search-api-555245b6
```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need Exa's neural/AI-native web search results (which excel at semantic relevance and finding similar pages) and want a simple pay-per-call pricing model via x402 micropayments without managing an Exa API key or subscription. Prefer over direct Exa API when operating in an agentic x402 payment context.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or invalid x402 header — returns 402 Payment Required
- Query parameter missing — returns 400 Bad Request
- Exa upstream API unavailable — returns 502 or 503
- Rate limit exceeded on underlying Exa account — returns 429
- Empty result set for very niche or malformed queries
