## 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 datavault-news-search-b81edbb7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Find me 10 recent English-language news articles about artificial intelligence from the technology category.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need live, real-world news articles filtered by topic keyword, category, and language in a single pay-per-call request. Prefer it over general web search when structured news data with category filtering is required and cost-per-call pricing via USDC is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or vague query returns irrelevant or no results
- Unsupported language code returns error or empty data
- Invalid category name returns no results
- Size parameter too large may be capped or cause timeout
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Network timeout if news data feed is temporarily unavailable

## How this service works
