> WEBBERsites Web Search API is a paid API for AI agents from api.webbersites.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

## 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 webbersites-web-search-api-bfd6c2e4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the web for 'best practices for AI agent security in 2025' and give me up to 8 results including a direct synthesized answer — topic general.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs live, up-to-date web search results without managing API keys or accounts — especially useful in keyless or payment-gated agent pipelines using x402. Prefer it over static knowledge lookups when freshness matters or when a synthesized direct answer from multiple live sources is needed.

## Known failure modes

- Query exceeds 400 characters — request rejected
- max_results outside 1-10 range — validation error
- x402 payment not provided or insufficient — 402 payment required
- No results found for query — empty results array returned
- External search provider unavailable — 500 or timeout error
- Invalid topic value (not 'general' or 'news') — may default or error

## How this service works

WEB SEARCH for keyless agents — POST {query} and get LLM-ready results: title, url, extracted content snippet, relevance score, plus a direct answer synthesized from live results. Options: max_results (1-10, default 5), topic (general|news). No API key, no account — the x402 payment IS the auth. Query up to 400 chars.

## Output

Returns a list of up to 10 search results each with a title, URL, extracted content snippet, and relevance score, plus a single synthesized direct answer compiled from the live results.
