## 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 forgemesh-developer-news-feed-5645a2a8 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the current top-ranked tech and developer stories from the community feed right now — I want the titles, links, scores, authors, and comment counts so I can pick the best ones for my newsletter.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a pre-normalized, ranked snapshot of top tech/developer stories without scraping or parsing a community board yourself. Ideal for newsletter pipelines, trend monitoring dashboards, or agent workflows that need structured story metadata (score, author, comments) rather than raw HTML. Prefer this over general web scraping when you want consistent schema output refreshed every 3 minutes.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream community board unavailable — empty or error response
- Stale data if refresh cycle is delayed beyond 3 minutes
- Empty body POST not properly structured — schema validation error
- Rate limiting or payment failure resulting in 402 response
- No stories returned if upstream board has no elevated stories at query time

## How this service works

For monitoring emerging tools, tracking industry sentiment, or feeding a newsletter pipeline. Refreshed every 3 minutes.

## Output

A normalized list of top-ranked technology and developer stories, each with title, URL link, community score, author name, and comment count, representing the current leaderboard refreshed within the last 3 minutes.
