## 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-fd191038 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'LLM inference optimization' and give me clean, citation-ready results I can use to ground my response.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs live, grounded, token-efficient news or tech content without scraping overhead or ad bloat — especially for HackerNews and Google News coverage. Prefer it over generic web scraping when you need citation-ready results optimized for token budgets in agent pipelines, and when paying per-call via x402/USDC micropayments is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Empty query string returns a validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia unavailability causes fetch failure
- Query returns zero results if the topic is too obscure or niche
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request
- Rate limiting may occur on repeated rapid calls without idempotency keys
