## 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-spy-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-2962e4d2
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about Anthropic's new model releases and give me clean, ad-free results I can use as citations.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, real-time web news and tech community results (especially HackerNews) without the overhead of ad-laden scraped pages. It is ideal for grounding agent responses with current citations, monitoring developer sentiment, or retrieving breaking tech news in a token-efficient format ready for LLM consumption. Prefer it over general web scrapers when you specifically need news and HackerNews content pruned for token budget.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or too-short query string returns a validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia unavailability causes fetch failure
- Query returns zero results for highly niche or misspelled terms
- Payment not processed causes 402 rejection before results are returned
- Rate limiting if too many calls are made in quick succession
