## 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-86c66a36 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'Anthropic Claude 4' and give me clean, ad-free results I can use to ground my response.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, up-to-date web search results specifically from Google News and HackerNews, and token efficiency matters — particularly when grounding AI agent responses with current citations without wasting context on ads, navigation chrome, or boilerplate. Prefer it over general web scrapers when the target domains are tech news and developer discourse, and over static knowledge bases when recency is required.

## Known failure modes

- Empty query string returns validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia unavailability may return degraded or empty results
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in HTTP 402 response before search executes
- Very broad queries may return low-signal results due to token pruning
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion on upstream news sources may reduce result freshness
