## 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 concierge-agent-news-article-unlock-588da837 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you unlock and pull the full content of this BBC article about DeFi markets — the headline is 'DeFi Surges as Liquidity Returns' and the URL is https://www.bbc.com/news/defi-surges-example?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to fetch or unlock the content of a specific market intelligence or DeFi news article and has the article URL, headline, and publisher name available. Prefer this over general web scrapers when the content requires a micropayment unlock via x402 and is in the crypto/DeFi/financial news domain.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns error or unlocked:false
- Missing required fields (url/title/source) cause validation errors
- Payment failure via x402 prevents content unlock
- Article not indexed or unsupported publisher results in empty or null content
- Non-http/https URL scheme rejected by input validation
