## 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-9e810e43
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussion about 'OpenAI GPT-5 release' and give me clean, ad-free results I can use as citations.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs real-time web grounding with minimal token overhead — particularly for tech and developer news — and wants clean results from both mainstream (Google News) and community-curated (HackerNews) sources without ad noise. Prefer this over general web scrapers when token efficiency and citation quality matter, and over static knowledge bases when recency is critical.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or very short query returns no meaningful results
- Query terms too broad may return low-relevance mixed news
- Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia upstream outage causes empty or error response
- Payment not fulfilled (HTTP 402) blocks the request from executing
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion on upstream RSS/Algolia feeds
