## 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 spipe-answer-45179e10 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the web and give me a researched answer to this question: 'What are the latest developments in quantum computing?' — use results from the past week and respond in English.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to answer a factual or research question using live web data, especially when freshness matters (recent events, current prices, latest news). Prefer this over static knowledge bases when the answer may have changed recently. The freshness filter (day/week/month/year) makes it ideal for time-sensitive queries. The country and language parameters make it suitable for localized research tasks.

## Known failure modes

- Query is too vague or ambiguous — may return low-quality or off-topic answer
- Freshness filter too narrow (e.g. 'day') yields no relevant results for rare topics
- Payment failure via x402 protocol — call not processed
- Unsupported language or country code — may fall back to defaults or return error
- Rate limiting or service unavailability on the Vercel deployment
