## 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 sec-intel-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-488f4084
```

Example prompt: Can you search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about LLM prompt injection attacks and give me clean, ad-free results I can use as citations?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs real-time, token-efficient news grounding from both mainstream tech media (Google News) and developer community discourse (HackerNews) in a single call. It is ideal for pipelines where context window efficiency matters and ad-bloated HTML would waste tokens. Prefer it over generic web scraping tools when you need pre-cleaned citations ready for RAG or grounding, and over static knowledge bases when recency is critical.

## Known failure modes

- Empty query string returns a validation error (query is required)
- Highly niche or obscure queries may return zero results from both sources
- Rate limiting or upstream Google News / HackerNews outages may cause partial or failed responses
- Payment not completed (HTTP 402) blocks the request if x402 payment protocol is not handled
- Results may be stale by minutes depending on RSS feed refresh cadence
