## 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-live-web-search-tech-news-grounding-a4637273
```

Example prompt: Search live tech news and HackerNews for 'OpenAI GPT-5 release' and give me the top clean results with no ads.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs real-time web grounding specifically from Google News RSS and HackerNews — especially for tech, startup, and developer-focused topics — and when token efficiency matters (clean output, no ad bloat). Prefer over general web scrapers when you want curated tech-news sources without parsing overhead, and over static knowledge when the query requires up-to-the-minute information.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or too-short query returns validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia unavailable causes partial or empty results
- Payment (x402 USDC) not supplied or rejected results in HTTP 402
- Rate limiting may apply at $0.01/call — excessive calls may be throttled
- Very niche or obscure queries may return few or no results
