## 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`):

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need time-ordered, news-specific results rather than general web search results. It is ideal for monitoring breaking news, building news briefings, tracking brand or topic press coverage, and any workflow where article publish date and news source attribution matter. Prefer it over general web search when recency and news-scoped filtering (by country or language) are the primary requirements.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if the query is too niche or the topic has no recent news coverage
- Invalid country or language codes may be ignored or cause an error
- Limit exceeding 20 is capped or returns an error
- Missing required 'query' field causes a 400-level error
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion may return a 429 or 402 payment required response

## How this service works

Fresh, dated news results via Google News: title, link, source, publish date. Distinct from general web search — time-ordered and news-scoped. For monitoring and briefings.

## Output

Returns a list of news articles from Google News, each containing the article title, URL link, source name, and publish date — ordered by recency, up to 20 results per call.
