## 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-e4d06c59
```

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

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, real-time web search results grounded in authoritative news and developer community sources (Google News + HackerNews), especially when token efficiency matters and you want zero ad or tracking bloat. Prefer this over generic web scraping when the focus is tech news, developer discourse, or current events that benefit from HackerNews community curation alongside mainstream news. It is ideal for AI agent pipelines that need citation-ready, clean text results without post-processing.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or missing query string returns validation error
- Query too broad may return low-relevance results from news feeds
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia unavailability causes partial or failed response
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) blocks the request
- Very niche or obscure queries may return zero results
