## 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 serp402-google-light-search-api-fe0df9df -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Google for 'best noise-cancelling headphones 2024' in the US in English and give me the top organic results as structured data — desktop results, first page.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured Google Search results in JSON format without managing a Google API key, account, or subscription — especially useful for AI agents making one-off or low-volume queries paid per-call in USDC. Prefer this over SerpAPI or similar subscription-based services when you want zero upfront commitment and pay-as-you-go pricing. Best for programmatic SEO research, content aggregation, competitive analysis, or any agent workflow that needs to know what Google currently ranks for a given query.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing query parameter returns an error response
- Unsupported country code (gl) or language code (hl) may return unexpected results or an error
- Payment not settled (x402) results in a 402 Payment Required response blocking the search
- Google's anti-scraping measures may intermittently cause empty or degraded result sets
- Overly broad or ambiguous queries may return irrelevant results
- Invalid 'start' offset values may return empty result pages
