## 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-hub-news-headlines-search-bad3d81f
```

Example prompt: Can you find me the latest news headlines about the Federal Reserve interest rate decision — give me up to 10 results with titles, sources, and links?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need headline-level news data from a curated set of 13 reputable outlets (BBC, NPR, Guardian, Al Jazeera, CBC, CNBC, NYT, TechCrunch, The Verge, Ars Technica, CoinDesk, ESPN, Hacker News) and only need titles, links, sources, and timestamps — not full article text. Ideal for news briefings, monitoring a topic, or surfacing recent coverage without deep scraping.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if the query matches no recent articles across the 13 outlets
- Rate limiting or payment failure if the x402 micropayment is not properly handled
- Invalid 'limit' value (outside 1–50) may cause a validation error
- Query too broad may return low-relevance mixed results from multiple outlets

## How this service works

Latest news headlines matching a query from 12 major outlets (BBC, NPR, Guardian, Al Jazeera, CBC, CNBC, NYT, TechCrunch, Verge, Ars Technica, CoinDesk, ESPN) plus Hacker News. Titles, links, source and time.

## Output

Returns a list of news articles, each containing: headline title, direct article URL, source outlet name (e.g. BBC, NPR, TechCrunch), and publication timestamp. Up to 50 results per call, defaulting to 20. Omitting the query returns top headlines across all covered outlets.
