## 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-dff4c879 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Google News for up to 20 recent articles about 'AI regulation' in the US in English and give me the titles, sources, and links.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, current news data from Google News on any keyword or topic, especially in an agentic context where you have no API account and want pay-per-call billing in stablecoins. Prefer it over web scraping when you want clean JSON output. Prefer it over other news APIs when you need no signup and per-call micropayment pricing.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if query matches no recent Google News content
- Invalid country or language code returns a validation error
- Limit outside 1–30 range is rejected with a schema validation error
- Payment failure if insufficient USDC balance or x402/MPP handshake fails
- Query exceeding 500 characters is rejected
- Transient upstream Google News errors may return empty or partial results

## How this service works

Unblock any URL as Markdown, or get search, social, maps, jobs and news as data. Paid per call in stablecoins over x402 or MPP, with no account.

## Output

Returns a JSON array of news articles, each containing the article URL, headline title, source publication name, a short description or snippet, and the published timestamp (ISO 8601).
