## 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 datapipe-api-news-search-5183e267 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news articles about the Federal Reserve interest rate decision and give me the top results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to search and retrieve news articles on a specific topic as part of research, summarization, or monitoring tasks, and when paying per-call via x402 on Base chain is acceptable. Prefer this over general web search when news-specific results are desired.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'query' field returns an error
- Empty or overly generic query may return irrelevant results
- Payment failure on Base chain blocks the request
- Underlying news source may be temporarily unavailable
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion if called too frequently
