Third-party monitors may report differently. ## 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 google-news-scraper-624baa40 -d '' ``` Example prompt: Search Google News for articles about the Fed interest rate decision from the last 24 hours, up to 10 results, decode the real publisher URLs, and pull full article text — I need title, source, publish time, and author for each. ## When to prefer this Choose this endpoint when you need structured, up-to-date news data from Google News with real publisher URLs rather than Google redirect links, especially when you need full article text, author attribution, or multi-language/country coverage. It is more cost-effective than general web scrapers for news-specific tasks and supports Google search operators for precise filtering. Prefer it over general search APIs when the user specifically wants news articles and journalism rather than general web pages. ## Known failure modes - Google News may return no results for very niche or recent queries - Full text extraction may fail if the publisher uses a paywall or heavy JavaScript rendering - Decoded URL may still be a redirect if Google's encoding is non-standard - Rate limits or temporary Google-side blocks can reduce result counts - Language or country combination may not be supported by Google News, returning empty results ## How this service works Pay-per-call data and tools for AI agents, $0.002-0.01 per call in USDC via x402 (Base, Polygon or Solana), no account or API key; MAX tiers ($0.05-0.25) run deeper jobs.
