## 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 agdata-google-news-search-221d1167 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Google News for the latest 20 articles about 'lithium battery supply chain' in English from the US edition and give me the headlines, sources, and links.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, current Google News articles for a keyword or topic, especially when you want per-article metadata (source, timestamp, description, URL) in JSON format and need to filter by country edition or language. Prefer this over generic web search APIs when the focus is specifically on news content, or over RSS feeds when you need programmatic JSON output with consistent schema and per-call payment rather than subscription overhead.

## Known failure modes

- No articles found for obscure or misspelled query — returns empty results array
- Invalid country code (not 2-letter ISO) or language code returns a validation error
- Limit exceeds maximum of 30 — request is rejected
- Payment not processed correctly — 402 response before content is served
- Network or upstream Google News outage — may return 5xx error
