## 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 gocreative-adverse-media-screening-44b4702b
```

Example prompt: Run an adverse media screen on 'Nikolai Petrov' — I need to know if there are any negative news hits related to financial crime, bribery, sanctions, or legal issues, and what the overall risk level is.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need keyless, pay-per-call adverse media screening without a sales process or subscription — ideal for AI agents running AML/KYC workflows that need to supplement sanctions and PEP checks with negative news signals. At $0.05 per call it is cost-effective for sporadic or high-volume automated checks, and it fits natively into x402 agentic payment flows on Base/USDC without API key management.

## Known failure modes

- Entity not found or too generic a name returns empty hits with low risk despite potential matches
- Homonym ambiguity: common names may return irrelevant hits for unrelated individuals
- News coverage gaps for entities in low-coverage regions or languages
- Payment failure via x402 USDC returns 402 Payment Required
- Malformed or missing input query parameter returns 400 Bad Request
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returns 429 or 503

## How this service works

Adverse media / negative-news screening—screens a person or company against global news for financial-crime, sanctions, bribery, legal and reputational signals, returning categorized hits with sourced headlines + a risk level. The third leg of an AML profile alongside sanctions/PEP screening. Keyless, pay-per-call USDC, $0.05—beats ComplyAdvantage/dilisense's sales-gated adverse-media add-on.

## Output

Returns categorized adverse media hits with sourced headlines, publication metadata, signal categories (e.g. financial crime, sanctions, bribery, legal, reputational), and an overall risk level (e.g. low, medium, high) for the screened entity.
