## 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-87ccfc82
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about OpenAI's new model releases — I need clean, ad-free results I can actually use for grounding.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, up-to-date web search results grounded in real news and developer community content (Google News + HackerNews) with minimal token overhead. Ideal for AI agents that need real-time grounding without scraping full web pages or dealing with ad-heavy HTML. Prefer over generic web scrapers when you specifically want news and tech community signal in a clean, agent-optimized format.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty query parameter returns validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia unavailable causes partial or failed results
- Payment not completed via x402 results in HTTP 402 response
- Query too broad may return irrelevant or unfocused results
- Rate limiting may occur if called too frequently without payment
