## 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 agents-openwebninja-com-currency-news-19d2cc8e
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest news articles about the EUR to USD exchange rate so I can see what's driving the market right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, freshly scraped news headlines specifically tied to a currency pair or crypto pair (e.g. BTC/USD, EUR/GBP). It is ideal for financial agents that need to contextualize price movements with news sentiment, build forex briefings, or monitor currency-specific media coverage. Prefer this over generic news search endpoints when you have a specific ISO 4217 currency pair and need results scoped to that pair.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required from_symbol or to_symbol returns a 400 error
- Invalid or unrecognized currency codes may return empty news arrays
- Unsupported language codes may fall back to English or return an error
- Rate limits or authentication failures return 402 or 401 responses
- Network/proxy timeouts from the upstream OpenWeb Ninja API
