## 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 wingman-agent-gateway-live-web-search-8b153e74 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the live web for the latest news on quantum computing breakthroughs and give me the top 10 results with titles, URLs, and snippets.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when your agent needs live, up-to-date web search results without setting up an account or managing API keys — ideal for pay-per-call agent pipelines on Base using x402. Prefer it over static knowledge bases or RAG setups when freshness matters, and over browser-scraping tools when you only need titles, URLs, and snippets rather than full rendered page content (use the sibling /v1/web_read for that).

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance — payment required before results are returned
- Query too vague or empty — may return irrelevant or no results
- Requested count exceeds maximum of 25 — capped or error returned
- Network or upstream search provider outage — service unavailable error
- Rate limiting if too many rapid sequential calls are made

## How this service works

Live web search for AI agents. POST a query and get the top results as JSON [{title, url, snippet}] (count: default 8, up to 25). Pay per call in USDC on Base with x402: no account and no API key. Read any result with /v1/web_read.

## Output

A JSON array of up to 25 result objects, each containing a title (page title string), url (full page URL string), and snippet (short excerpt or description string), ordered by relevance to the query.
