## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-x402node-dev-74da3827
```

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs up-to-date news articles on any topic, especially for news monitoring workflows, current events research, or trend analysis. Prefer this over general web search when the task specifically requires journalistic news content with structured metadata (title, source, snippet, publish date). Best suited for real-time or near-real-time news retrieval tasks that need to be repeated programmatically.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for obscure or very niche queries — returns empty array
- Query parameter missing — returns 400 bad request
- Google News rate limiting or upstream availability issues — may return 503 or timeout
- Invalid language code — may return no results or error
- Limit parameter out of expected range — may default or error
