## 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 arch-tools-news-search-1510fb5f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news about the Federal Reserve interest rate decision — give me up to 15 English articles.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs to retrieve fresh, real-world news articles based on a keyword or topic query, especially when paired with other Arch Tools endpoints like entity extraction or sentiment analysis for a news-processing pipeline. It is well-suited for agents that need live news context rather than static web pages, and supports multilingual queries via ISO-639-1 codes.

## Known failure modes

- Empty query string returns validation error
- Unsupported or invalid ISO-639-1 language code may return no results or an error
- Very obscure topics may return zero articles
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or 429 error
- Limit value out of acceptable range may be clamped or rejected
