## 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 hacker-news-jobs-feed-72de6e3e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest job and hiring posts from Hacker News so I can see which tech companies are actively recruiting right now.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a no-parameter, ready-made feed of the latest Hacker News job posts sorted by recency, especially for tech hiring market intelligence, job aggregation pipelines, or monitoring startup recruitment activity. Prefer this over scraping HN directly since it abstracts the data fetch and returns clean JSON.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream HN API unavailable — returns 5xx error
- Payment not processed — returns 402 Payment Required
- Empty result set if HN jobs feed has no recent posts
- Stale data if the upstream feed has not refreshed recently
