## 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-7c3aa312
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news and HackerNews discussions about OpenAI's new model releases — I need clean, ad-free results I can use to ground my response.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to ground its response in live, current news or tech community discussion without parsing raw HTML or dealing with ad-heavy pages. It is especially valuable for tech-focused queries where HackerNews community signals matter, and when token efficiency is important. Prefer it over generic web scraping when you want pre-cleaned, structured news results at a fixed low cost per query.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or ambiguous query returns no results or a validation error
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia outage results in partial or empty response
- Rate limiting or payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC microtransaction is not completed
- Very niche or misspelled queries may return zero relevant results
- Query too long or too short may trigger schema validation rejection
