## 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 agentreader-rss-atom-feed-parser-042b250e
```

Example prompt: Fetch and parse the RSS feed at https://feeds.arstechnica.com/arstechnica/index and give me the latest 10 articles with their titles, links, and publish dates.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to ingest structured content from any RSS, Atom, or RDF feed URL and want normalized, consistent JSON output regardless of feed flavor. It is ideal for agents that need to monitor blogs, news sites, changelogs, or podcasts for new content. Prefer this over general web scraping when the target site publishes a feed, as it gives clean structured data without HTML parsing overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error indicating the feed could not be fetched
- URL points to non-feed content (e.g. plain HTML) returns a parse error
- Feed with non-standard or malformed XML may produce partial results or an error
- Private/authentication-gated feeds return a fetch failure since no credentials can be passed
- Very large feeds may be truncated at 100 items

## How this service works

Parse any RSS, Atom or RDF feed into normalized JSON: feed title, description and up to 100 items with title, link, publish date, author, summary and categories. Ideal for agents monitoring news sources, blogs and changelogs.

## Output

A normalized JSON object containing the feed's title, description, and an array of up to 100 items. Each item includes the title, link (URL), publish date, author, summary/description, and categories. The structure is consistent regardless of whether the source was RSS, Atom, or RDF.
