Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 strale-google-search-f867428a
```

Example prompt: Search Google for 'best open-source LLM frameworks 2024' and give me the top 10 results scoped to the US in English.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need auditable, cryptographically hashed Google Search results with optional country and language scoping, especially in agentic workflows requiring a verifiable trust layer. Prefer it over raw Google Search APIs when auditability, pay-per-call micropayment pricing, or REST/MCP/A2A protocol flexibility is important. Best suited for agents that need reproducible, verifiable web lookups across 27 countries.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid country code — unrecognized values are rejected before the search runs rather than silently ignored
- Malformed language code — invalid ISO 639-1 format rejected upfront
- num_results exceeds maximum of 20 — request rejected
- Missing required 'query' parameter — request fails validation
- Upstream Google Search API unavailability — 5xx error returned
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance via x402 — 402 Payment Required
