## 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 httpay-xyz-fbaa9dd3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you search NewsAPI for the latest articles about OpenAI from the past week — I want headlines, sources, and URLs for the top results in English?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to query NewsAPI programmatically without managing your own NewsAPI key, and you are already operating in a micropayment (x402/USDC) environment. Ideal for agents that need on-demand news lookups without a subscription, paying only per call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported NewsAPI path segment returns 404 or passthrough error
- Missing or invalid query parameters cause NewsAPI to return empty results or error
- Payment failure or insufficient funds blocks the gateway before the request reaches NewsAPI
- Rate limiting from NewsAPI upstream causes 429 errors
- Requests for future dates or unsupported categories return empty article lists
