## 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 x402broker-com-zero-bloat-a2a-live-web-search-tech-news-grounding-3373badb
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about Anthropic's new model releases and give me a clean summary with no ads or fluff.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to ground its responses in live, current tech news or developer community discussions without the overhead of scraping ad-laden web pages. It is ideal for queries about recent software releases, AI developments, open source projects, or company news where freshness matters and token efficiency is a priority. Prefer this over general web scrapers when you want pre-filtered, clean output from trusted tech-news sources (Google News + HackerNews) rather than arbitrary web content.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or vague query returns no results or low-quality matches
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia unavailability causes fetch failure
- Very niche or misspelled queries may yield irrelevant results
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC payment is not properly configured
- Results may be delayed if upstream RSS feeds have not refreshed recently
