## 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 serper-google-web-search-9f3a0a46 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Google for 'best practices for React server components' and show me the top organic results along with any People Also Ask questions and related searches.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need full Google web SERP data including organic results, knowledge graph, People Also Ask, and sitelinks — especially for general web research or fact-finding. Prefer over Images, News, Scholar, or Shopping endpoints when the user wants general web results rather than a specialized content type.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or missing query returns 400 error
- Quota exhaustion returns 429 rate-limit error
- Serper API outage returns 503 or timeout
- Overly broad or empty query may return irrelevant results
- Country/language mismatch may produce unexpected localization

## How this service works

Google Search - returns organic results, knowledge graph, people also ask, related searches, and sitelinks. Use for general web queries, fact-finding, and research. Pagination billing: call the first page normally and save billing.requestId from the Orthogonal /v1/run response. For later page, offset, or cursor calls on the same logical search, pass parentRequestId with unchanged non-pagination parameters. Valid continuation calls still get their own request IDs and quoted price, but are charged 0. Changing filters starts a new billable request.

## Output

Returns a structured JSON object containing: organic search results (title, link, snippet, position), knowledge graph card (entity info, attributes), People Also Ask questions with answers, related searches, and sitelinks for domain-heavy results. Each organic result includes title, URL, and snippet.

## Example request

```json
{
 "q": "artificial intelligence trends 2024"
}
```
