## 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 token-intel-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-e2b92d0b
```

Example prompt: Can you search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'open source LLMs' and give me clean, ad-free results I can actually cite?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs live, grounded news or tech community citations with minimal token overhead — especially for HackerNews coverage and Google News headlines. Prefer over general web scraping when you want clean, pre-pruned results without ad bloat and when token efficiency matters. Best for grounding responses in recent events, tracking developer discourse, or fact-checking with current sources.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'query' parameter returns a validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia outage may return empty or partial results
- Payment not fulfilled (HTTP 402) if x402 micropayment is not completed
- Very broad or ambiguous queries may return low-relevance results
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion on upstream sources may degrade result quality
