## 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 fetcher-sh-google-news-search-f75c841c
```

Example prompt: Search Google News for the latest articles about 'OpenAI GPT-5' and give me the top headlines, sources, and links.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need programmatic, pay-per-call access to Google News search results without setting up OAuth, managing API quotas, or paying subscription fees. It is ideal for AI agents that need fresh news data on demand for arbitrary queries, particularly when cost predictability ($0.005/call) matters and the agent already operates in a USDC/x402 payment context. Prefer it over direct Google APIs when you want zero-account setup, or over generic web scrapers when you want a maintained, structured output.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if the query matches no indexed news articles
- Payment failure if USDC balance or x402 authorization is insufficient
- Rate limiting or throttling if called too rapidly
- Malformed or missing query parameter returns an error
- Google News layout changes may temporarily break scraping and return partial or no data
