## 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 apollo-news-search-via-locus-x402-e2a269e2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest news for Apollo organization IDs 'org_abc123' and 'org_def456' — give me the first page with 25 results so I can see what's been happening at these companies before I reach out.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to surface recent news or press coverage for specific companies already identified by their Apollo organization IDs, particularly for sales trigger identification or pre-outreach research. It's ideal when you already have Apollo org IDs from a prior people/company search and want to add news context. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured, paginated news data tied specifically to Apollo's company database.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent Apollo organization IDs return empty data sets
- Missing organization_ids array results in no results or validation error
- Pagination beyond available results returns empty data
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request entirely
- Rate limiting may occur with large organization_ids arrays
