## 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 whale-momentum-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-044d53c3
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about Model Context Protocol and return clean, ad-free results I can use as grounding context.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs live, real-time web search grounding specifically from tech-focused sources (HackerNews, Google News) with token-efficient, ad-free output. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when low token overhead matters and the subject is technology, startups, crypto, or open source. Ideal for agents that need factual grounding without bloated HTML parsing overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or overly broad query returns irrelevant or no results
- Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia upstream outage causes no results
- Rate limiting or 402 payment required if USDC micropayment not attached
- Very niche queries return sparse results from HackerNews
- Query too short (minLength:1 must be met) returns validation error
