## 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 btc-news-headlines-via-coindesk-rss-bec9c50c
```

Example prompt: What are the latest Bitcoin news headlines right now? Pull the most recent CoinDesk stories with their titles, summaries, and links.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, lightweight Bitcoin-specific news headlines and links without full article content. It is ideal for news monitoring, briefing generation, or detecting market-moving headlines. Prefer this over the altcoin news endpoint when the focus is specifically on Bitcoin/BTC, and over general market news endpoints when crypto-specific coverage from CoinDesk is desired.

## Known failure modes

- CoinDesk RSS feed is temporarily unavailable, returning an upstream fetch error
- Feed returns no items if CoinDesk has not published recently
- Network timeout if the RSS source is slow to respond
- Payment not processed (x402 payment required), returning 402 status
