## 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 financial-data-x402-stock-news-feed-cd898f5e
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest news articles for Apple (AAPL) — I want headlines, summaries, and where they were published so I can see what's moving the stock today.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need recent news articles and headlines for a specific publicly traded stock ticker without setting up API keys or subscriptions. It is ideal for agents that need pay-as-you-go access to equity news at $0.005 per call via USDC on Base or Solana. Prefer it over traditional financial data APIs when you want frictionless micropayment-based access without account registration.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown ticker returns empty articles array or error
- Payment failure (402) if USDC wallet lacks sufficient funds or x402 handshake fails
- Rate limiting or upstream Yahoo Finance unavailability causes 503 or empty response
- Malformed ticker path parameter causes 400 or unexpected response
- News may be delayed or missing for thinly traded or OTC securities

## How this service works

Pay-per-call stock, macro, on-chain, and crypto data over the x402 protocol. USDC on Base or Solana, no API keys, no subscriptions.
