## 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 crypto-financial-news-search-24b2c702 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news on Bitcoin and give me the top 10 headlines with their sources and publication times.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, real-time crypto and financial news results with metadata (source, URL, snippet, publish time) rather than raw web search. Ideal for trading agents needing news sentiment context, crypto research workflows, or news monitoring pipelines focused specifically on cryptocurrency and finance topics. Prefer over a general Google News endpoint when the user's query is crypto/finance-specific and you want results ranked for that domain.

## Known failure modes

- Empty query string returns validation error (minLength:1 violation)
- Query exceeding 700 characters returns schema validation error
- depth outside 1–10 range returns error
- Invalid language code may return no results or default behavior
- Upstream news provider downtime may return empty items array
- Network timeout on Azure-hosted endpoint

## Output

Returns an array of news items, each containing title, snippet, URL, source domain, image URL, publication timestamp, and rank — plus the original query string, route info, and optional economics metadata (cost). The `count` field indicates total results returned (up to 10).
