## 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 hivemindos-news-search-fb15cde6 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Find me up to 20 recent news articles from the past week about AI regulation in the US — give me the headlines, sources, and links.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs structured, up-to-date news articles on a specific topic, especially when freshness (past day, week, month) matters. It is well-suited for current events monitoring, competitive intelligence, and breaking news retrieval. Prefer it over general web search when the output format (headline, outlet, snippet, date) is needed in a structured form. The per-call payment model makes it ideal for on-demand, single-topic news lookups rather than bulk crawling.

## Known failure modes

- No articles found for an obscure or misspelled query — returns empty result set
- Invalid country or language code — may return an error or fall back to defaults
- Freshness filter too narrow (e.g. past day) with niche topic — may return zero results
- Payment failure in USDC on Base — call does not succeed and no charge is made
- Query exceeding 500 characters is rejected with a validation error

## How this service works

Use when an agent needs the latest news articles on a topic, optionally only from the past day or week. $0.01 this call, in USDC on Base; you pay only if it succeeds. HivemindOS SuperAgent API.
