## 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 shopify-intel-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-live-web-search-tech-news-9026363c
```

Example prompt: Search the live web for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'Anthropic Claude 4 release' and give me clean, ad-free results I can use to ground my answer.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, current web search results grounded in real-time news and tech community discussions (Google News + HackerNews), especially when token efficiency matters and you want ad-free, pruned output. Prefer this over static knowledge bases when recency is critical, or over general-purpose scrapers when you specifically need news and tech content without bloat.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing query string returns a validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia unavailability results in partial or no results
- Overly broad queries may return many low-relevance items
- Payment failure (x402) blocks access and returns 402 status
- Rate limiting may apply if query volume is high
