Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability clonecho-hn-show-launches-feed-aac79f7b -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: What are the most popular Show HN product launches right now — give me the top ones ranked by points so I can see what new startups are getting traction.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a ranked, real-time feed of new product and startup launches from Show HN — ideal for competitive intelligence, trend monitoring, or discovering what builders are shipping. Prefer this over generic HN feeds when you specifically want Show HN (new products) rather than Ask HN or top news stories.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream Hacker News API unavailable — service may return 503 or empty data
- Payment not processed — x402 payment required before data is returned
- No recent Show HN posts available — empty array returned
- Rate limiting if called too frequently without payment
