## 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 ai-rook-news-digest-4de6feda
```

Example prompt: Can you pull today's news digest and give me a summary of the top stories — I don't want to scroll through headlines myself, just a clean briefing.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, no-signup, pay-per-call news digest without managing API keys or subscriptions. Ideal for autonomous agents that need occasional current-events context at low cost ($0.05/call). Prefer over traditional news APIs when operating within an x402 micropayment workflow on Base/USDC, or when you want a bundled AI-curated summary rather than raw article feeds.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure if insufficient USDC balance on Base mainnet (x402 402 response)
- Empty or stale digest if news sources are temporarily unavailable
- HTTP 429 or rate limiting if called too frequently
- Malformed response if upstream news aggregation pipeline fails
- Network timeout if the news fetching process takes too long
