## 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 gloom-stories-sources-1c2c137e
```

Example prompt: Show me all the available news sources in Gloom's finance terminal — I want to know which ones are enabled, filterable, and what their quality rankings are.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover which news/story sources are available in the Gloom finance terminal before filtering stories, building a source selector UI, or programmatically choosing high-quality financial news feeds. Prefer this over manually maintaining a hardcoded source list, as it reflects current enabled and filterable states.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported properties filter parameter returns empty or error response
- Network timeout or 5xx if Gloom API is temporarily unavailable
- Payment not processed (402) if x402 micropayment of $0.06 USDC is not completed
- Malformed request returns 400 bad request
