## 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 workflows-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-a5b4f10c
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about the OpenAI o3 model release and give me clean, ad-free results I can use as citations.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, up-to-date web search results specifically from tech news sources (Google News RSS and HackerNews) and want token-efficient, ad-free output suitable for AI agent grounding. It is ideal for grounding LLM responses with fresh citations, monitoring tech news, or answering queries that require current information rather than static knowledge. Prefer it over general web scrapers when token efficiency and source quality (HN + Google News) are priorities.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or very short query returns no meaningful results
- Query matches no recent news and returns an empty result set
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia API is temporarily unavailable, causing failed or degraded results
- Overly broad query returns low-relevance results
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if the per-call fee is not satisfied
