## 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-b0f97cce
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'Shopify AI commerce tools' and give me clean, ad-free citations I can use to ground my response.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, ad-free news and tech article citations to ground an AI agent response, especially when combining Google News coverage with HackerNews technical community discussions. Prefer it over generic search APIs when token efficiency matters and you want clean, structured results without needing to scrape or post-process raw HTML.

## Known failure modes

- Query matches no recent news items, returning an empty result set
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia APIs are temporarily unavailable, causing a service error
- Payment not completed (HTTP 402) blocks access to results
