## 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-yahoo-search-a3d9d210 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Yahoo for 'best electric cars 2024' in the US, filter results to English only, and give me the structured JSON results — use desktop mode with moderate adult content filtering.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need Yahoo! search results rather than Google or Bing, when you want country- or language-scoped searches via Yahoo's regional domains, or when you need no-subscription pay-per-call SERP data at $0.05 per query with no API key setup. Prefer over alternatives when Yahoo's index or ranking is specifically relevant to your use case or when you need to compare results across multiple search engines.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported country code returns error or empty results
- Unsupported Yahoo domain prefix causes request failure
- Payment not processed correctly (x402 protocol issue) results in 402 response
- Query string missing (p field empty) causes validation error
- Rate limiting or Yahoo-side blocking may return incomplete or no results
- Unsupported file format filter value returns error
