## 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 scrapfly-web-search-api-d023beb7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the web for 'best open-source LLM frameworks in 2025' and give me the top 10 results including titles and URLs.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic web search results billed per-request without managing a Google Custom Search or Bing API key, especially in x402-enabled agent workflows on Base chain. Useful for one-off or low-volume search tasks where you want pay-as-you-go pricing and no upfront API subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'query' field returns an error
- Query returns no results for very niche or malformed search terms
- Network or scraping infrastructure timeout causes failure
- Rate limiting or payment failure via x402 halts the request
- Response data object may be sparse if scraping is blocked by target search engine
