## 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-news-radar-top-stories-bb73828f
```

Example prompt: What are the top 20 crypto news stories from the last 24 hours that multiple outlets are covering — especially anything around BTC, ETH, ETFs, or regulation?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs a ranked, deduplicated view of what is actually trending in crypto news — not raw RSS feeds. It is ideal for morning briefings, market-moving event detection, and regulatory monitoring because the cross-outlet clustering surfaces the most significant stories. Prefer it over single-outlet APIs when editorial diversity and story importance ranking matter.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid 'hours' value outside 1–72 range — returns error or defaults
- Invalid 'limit' value outside 1–50 range — returns error or defaults
- No stories found in the requested window — returns empty stories array
- Payment failure (x402) — 402 response if USDC payment not provided
- Upstream feed outage — reduced outlet coverage or stale data

## How this service works

Crypto news radar for agents: headlines and links from 13 crypto outlets (CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, The Block, Decrypt, DL News, The Defiant, Bitcoin Magazine, Blockworks...), refreshed every 10 minutes, kept 72 h, clustered across outlets so the same story is counted once and ranked by how many independent outlets report it. Each story is tagged with assets and themes (BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, stablecoins, ETF, SEC, regulation, hacks, Fed...). Titles, links and at most a 200-character feed description; never article text.

## Output

A JSON object with a timestamp, the requested look-back window, and an array of deduplicated stories. Each story includes a consensus headline, the list of outlets that covered it, per-outlet titles and URLs, the outlet count (cross-coverage score), asset/theme tags (e.g. BTC, ETH, SEC, STABLECOINS), and the time the story was first seen.
