## 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 foundry-rss-atom-feed-reader-bf1cf509 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the latest articles from the Hacker News front page RSS feed at https://hnrss.org/frontpage and show me the titles and links?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically read an RSS or Atom feed URL and get back structured item data (titles, links, dates) without building your own feed parser. It is ideal for news monitoring, content aggregation, podcast episode listing, or any workflow that starts from a known feed URL. Prefer this over a generic web scraper when the target site publishes a standard feed.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed feed URL returns an error
- Feed URL is not an RSS or Atom feed (e.g. plain HTML page) causes parse failure
- Feed server is unreachable or returns non-200 status
- Feed requires authentication or is behind a paywall
- Very large feeds may be truncated or time out
