## 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-api-d5c3479b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Google News for articles about 'OpenAI GPT-5' published in the last week, return up to 50 results in English for the US edition.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, pay-per-successful-call Google News data with keyword filtering, timeframe control, and regional/language targeting. Prefer it over generic web scrapers when you specifically want news article metadata (title, source, publish date) indexed by Google News, especially if you only want to pay for non-empty results.

## Known failure modes

- No articles found for keyword returns empty items array (not charged)
- Invalid region_language format may return error or empty results
- Rate limiting or scraping blocks from Google News may cause empty response
- Unsupported timeframe enum value returns validation error
- maxArticles of 0 attempts to collect all results, which may hit undocumented limits

## How this service works

Pay-per-call structured web data. Failed or empty runs are not charged.

## Output

A JSON object containing a count of results and an array of article items, each with title, URL, source name, source URL, article ID, keyword, timeframe, and published timestamp. Failed or empty runs are not billed.
