## 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 economic-data-explorer-news-feed-1212adcf
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest economic news from econdash.org for Brazil — filter it by the GDP growth indicator so I only see relevant articles?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to surface recent news articles contextually tied to specific countries or economic/health/demographic indicators — particularly when you want curated economic intelligence news rather than raw indicator data values. Prefer this over raw data endpoints when the user wants readable article content rather than numeric time-series data.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized ISO3 country code returns empty results or 400 error
- Unknown indicator code returns empty result set
- Payment not provided or insufficient (402 Payment Required)
- No news available for the requested filter combination returns an empty array
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded returns 429 error
