## 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 entity-news-24h-wikipedia-identity-check-d9c4222d
```

Example prompt: How much news coverage has Anthropic gotten in the last 24 hours — give me the article count, top sources, top countries, and a few headlines, plus a quick Wikipedia summary of who they are.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, structured snapshot of recent media attention for a specific named entity — especially when you also need a Wikipedia-based identity confirmation. It is ideal for due diligence, PR monitoring, and competitive intelligence workflows where freshness (last 24h) matters more than historical depth. Prefer this over general search APIs when you want pre-aggregated source and country breakdowns rather than raw search results.

## Known failure modes

- Entity name too ambiguous or obscure — Wikipedia identity check returns no match
- Entity has no news coverage in past 24h — articles24h returns 0 and headlines array is empty
- Misspelled or non-existent entity name yields null or empty Wikipedia entityInfo
- Rate limit or upstream GDELT API unavailability causes 5xx error
- Wikipedia language code unsupported or invalid lang param returns fallback to English or error

## How this service works

Invoice-to-JSON, on-chain tools (transaction explainer + payment check, wallet profile, contract ABI, ERC-20 token risk), company contacts and web-to-RAG for AI agents. Pay per call with x402 (USDC on Base). No signup, no API key.

## Output

A JSON object containing: entity name, 24h article count, array of recent headlines with URLs and titles, top news sources with article counts, top countries by coverage volume, and a Wikipedia-sourced entity info block (title + short description).
