## 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-74fe08c0
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about 'OpenAI GPT-5' and give me clean, token-efficient results I can use to ground my response.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, real-time news and developer community results (Google News + HackerNews) returned in a clean, token-efficient format suitable for AI agent pipelines. Prefer it over general web scrapers when you specifically want tech/news grounding without ad bloat, and when you need to cite current events or developer sentiment rather than static web pages.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or overly broad query may return irrelevant or low-quality results
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia unavailability may cause partial or empty responses
- Very recent events (seconds old) may not yet be indexed in either source
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns HTTP 402 before the query is executed
- Queries in non-English languages may yield sparse or inconsistent results
