## 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 crawlspur-robots-txt-allowance-check-for-news-documents-71dafb8f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check whether this news article URL https://example.com/news/article-123 is allowed to be crawled according to the site's robots.txt rules?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need to verify whether a news document URL is permitted by a site's robots.txt, particularly for SEO auditing, news indexing pipelines, or crawl policy compliance checks. Prefer this over generic robots.txt checkers when the object type is explicitly a news document, as the endpoint is tuned for that content class.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable target URL returns an error
- URL exceeds maximum length of 2048 characters
- robots.txt file is unreachable or returns non-200 status
- Malformed user agent string fails pattern validation
- Target URL resolves to a non-public IP address and is rejected
- Input object missing required 'adresse' field when using object form

## How this service works

## Output

Returns the robots.txt allowance finding for the specified news document — indicating whether the URL is permitted or blocked by the site's robots.txt directives, potentially including the specific rule matched and the effective crawl permission status for the given user agent.
