## 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 deepsearch-korean-stock-news-api-0495c3e2
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest news articles for Samsung Electronics — KRX ticker 005930 — from DeepSearch so I can see what's been written about them recently.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need news article coverage specifically for KRX-listed Korean stocks identified by their 6-digit ticker codes. Prefer this over general web search when you want structured, publisher-attributed news data with publication timestamps for Korean equity research or monitoring corporate news flow on the Seoul exchange.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent ticker returns empty articles array or 404
- Non-KRX ticker format (e.g. NYSE symbol) may return no results
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance on Base Mainnet is insufficient
- Rate limiting or network timeout if the underlying news index is unavailable
- Ticker with no recent coverage returns empty articles list

## How this service works

Up to 10 years of financials + 3 years of daily price history for all 2,000+ KRX stocks. Pay-per-query with USDC on Base Mainnet — no subscription.

## Output

A JSON object containing the ticker symbol and an array of news articles, each with a URL, headline title, publisher name (often Korean media outlets), and publication date — covering recent news relevant to the specified KRX stock.
