## 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 websearch-gw-swerver-net-web-search-bba3a727 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the web for the latest news about OpenAI's GPT-5 release and give me the top results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to retrieve live web search results programmatically and is operating in a micropayment (x402) environment. Suitable for one-off or low-volume searches where paying $0.01 USDC per query is acceptable. Choose over alternatives when the x402 payment protocol is already supported in the agent's workflow.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or insufficient — 402 Payment Required response
- Invalid or missing query body — 400 Bad Request
- Service temporarily unavailable — 503 response
- Rate limiting if too many requests in short succession
- Empty results if query is too obscure or malformed
