## 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 straelo-relay-search-read-52985d90 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the web for the latest news on the x402 protocol and show me what you find, including the sources.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, live web search results rather than cached or static knowledge — especially for breaking news, recent events, or current facts that a language model's training data would not cover. It is well-suited for agents that need to ground responses in fresh web sources and return citations. Prefer it over a general web scraper when you want a search-query interface rather than extracting content from a known URL.

## Known failure modes

- Empty sources array returned if the query yields no live results or the search index has no matches
- Request rejected if the query string is missing or empty (minLength:1 not met)
- Payment failure if the x402 USDC payment of $0.02 is not properly authorized
- Timeout or degraded results if upstream web search provider is slow or unavailable
- Malformed JSON response if the upstream search service returns an unexpected format

## How this service works
