## 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 agent-connskill-com-google-news-search-0c7933ef -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Google News for the latest headlines about 'artificial intelligence regulation' in English for the United States and give me the top results with source, URL, and when they were published.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, timestamped Google News results (headline, source, URL, snippet) for a specific keyword, especially with language or geographic filtering (e.g., German-language news or US-only news). Prefer it over general web search endpoints when the use case is specifically news monitoring, press coverage tracking, or media research. It is particularly useful for agents that need machine-readable news data rather than raw SERP results.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'keyword' field returns a 400 validation error
- Invalid language_code or location_code may return empty results or an error
- Very niche or obscure keywords may return few or no results
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) blocks the request
- Google News may have no recent results for a very specific query
