## 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 x402-audit-agentdiet-dev-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-40a1c2f7
```

Example prompt: Can you search live tech news and HackerNews for the latest discussions about Model Context Protocol and give me clean, ad-free results I can actually read?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs live, grounded web or tech news context without the token overhead of raw HTML scraping. It is especially suitable for HackerNews and Google News coverage of technology, startups, and developer topics. Prefer over generic web scrapers when token efficiency and ad-free output matter.

## Known failure modes

- Empty query string returns validation error
- Overly broad or ambiguous queries may return loosely relevant results
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia outage yields no results
- Payment not fulfilled via x402 results in HTTP 402 response before search is executed
- Rate limiting may occur on high-frequency calls
