## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-x402node-dev-421664c1
```

Example prompt: Can you parse the podcast RSS feed at https://feeds.simplecast.com/54nAGcIl and pull out all the episodes with their audio URLs, durations, and season/episode numbers, plus the show's author and cover image?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically ingest podcast feed metadata and episode lists — especially when you need iTunes-extended fields like season/episode numbers, duration, and explicit audio file URLs. Ideal for AI agents building podcast indexes, transcript pipelines, or audio content databases. Prefer this over generic RSS parsers when podcast-specific iTunes namespace fields are required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable RSS feed URL returns an error
- Feed URL is not a valid podcast RSS (no enclosures or iTunes namespace) resulting in empty episodes
- Feed requires authentication or is geo-blocked resulting in fetch failure
- Malformed XML in the RSS feed causing parse errors
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
