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-b066d43e
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussion about OpenAI's new model releases — give me clean results with no ads or bloat.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, grounded news and tech community results without ad noise or token bloat — especially when grounding LLM responses with real-time facts, monitoring tech trends, or retrieving HackerNews developer sentiment alongside mainstream news. Prefer it over general web scrapers when token efficiency matters and when Google News + HackerNews coverage is sufficient for the domain.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'query' parameter returns a validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia outage may yield empty or partial results
- Overly broad or ambiguous queries may return low-relevance results
- Payment failure via x402 protocol will block the request
- Rate limits or quota exhaustion on upstream sources may delay responses
