## 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 delx-commerce-crypto-news-search-3f88a8b9 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest crypto news about Bitcoin from the past 24 hours, sorted by date, and return the top 5 headlines.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs real-time or recent cryptocurrency and blockchain news headlines filtered by topic and time window, without requiring user signup or API keys. It is ideal for agents that need verifiable, pay-per-result access to crypto news metadata backed by the GDELT Project, particularly in low-cost, high-frequency monitoring or research workflows. Prefer alternatives if you need full article text, sentiment analysis, or news from outside the crypto/blockchain domain.

## Known failure modes

- Query too long (over 120 characters) returns validation error
- Timeout value out of range (below 2 or above 30) causes rejection
- Invalid enum value for sort or timespan fields causes bad request
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response and no data returned
- No articles found for highly specific or obscure queries returns empty results list
- GDELT provider unavailability may cause delayed or failed responses
