## 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-press-wire-press-release-newswire-distribution-8f61c945 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Send out a press release announcing the launch of my developer tool — the product page is at https://mytool.dev and the big news is that we just hit 10,000 users and launched our v2.0 API. Company is DevCo Labs and media contact is press@devcol.com.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to autonomously publish and distribute a press release without human PR agency involvement, especially for product launches, version releases, or funding announcements targeting 500+ news outlets. It is uniquely suited for automated agent workflows because it accepts a USDC micropayment via x402 (no subscription or API key setup required), generates the release copy from a URL, and immediately indexes the result — making it the best choice when speed, automation, and broad syndication matter over bespoke editorial control.

## Known failure modes

- 422 Unprocessable Entity if the product_url has no newsworthy content and no announcement field was provided (not charged)
- 402 Payment Required if USDC payment over x402 is not completed or insufficient
- 400 Bad Request if product_url is missing or malformed
- 503 Service Unavailable if newswire distribution partners are temporarily unreachable
- Thin or generic release generated if the announcement field is omitted and the product page lacks clear news signals

## How this service works

Press release API for AI agents. Announce a product launch or update: POST a product URL, pay in USDC over x402 (from $1.00), and get a published, indexed release or newswire distribution to 500+ news sites.

## Output
