## 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-web-search-b8068437
```

Example prompt: Search the web for the latest news on quantum computing breakthroughs, give me 10 results from the past week, using US region and English language.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs live, real-time web search results with flexible filtering by geography, language, and recency, particularly in x402/Base payment-gated workflows. Prefer it over static knowledge lookups when freshness matters or when the agent needs to surface URLs and snippets from the live web.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'q' parameter returns a 400 or error response
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC triggers an x402 payment-required response
- Invalid country or language code may return no results or an error
- Freshness filter too narrow returns empty result set
- Count exceeding 20 or below 1 may be rejected or clamped
- Service temporarily unavailable on Vercel infrastructure returns 5xx
