## 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 agentpay-news-feed-6f6f36e2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull me the latest 10 news articles about AI regulation? Pay with USDC if needed — no API key required.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-call news retrieval without managing API keys or subscriptions — ideal for AI agents that need ad-hoc, on-demand news lookups billed in micro-USDC amounts per query, especially in autonomous or low-overhead workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Query string missing — endpoint may return empty or error response
- Insufficient USDC balance causes 402 payment failure and no results returned
- Limit parameter out of expected range may be ignored or cause an error
- Overly broad or ambiguous query may return irrelevant articles
- Service unavailable or upstream news source timeout results in a 5xx error

## How this service works

Pay-per-call AI services via the 402 Payment Required protocol. No accounts, no API keys — just USDC on Base.
