## 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 briefing-service-render-briefing-ffa64d88 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Create a news briefing called 'Tech & Finance Daily' using these feeds: https://feeds.wired.com/wired/fulltext and https://feeds.bloomberg.com/markets/news.rss, tailored for a startup founder persona, and include the top 8 stories.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need both a machine-readable structured JSON briefing and a human-readable rendered 1-bit page image from custom RSS sources with persona-tuned ranking, especially when you want to pay per-call via x402 with no subscription commitment.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable RSS feed URLs causing fetch failures
- Missing required fields (name or feeds) returning a 400 error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocking the request
- Feeds returning no parseable items resulting in an empty briefing
- Rate limits or timeouts on upstream feed sources causing partial results
