## 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-newsapi-gateway-5a692a5c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch me the latest top headlines about artificial intelligence from the US, in English, from the past 7 days using NewsAPI?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to query NewsAPI for news articles or headlines without managing your own NewsAPI key, and when you are comfortable paying micro-transactions in USDC via the x402 protocol on Base. Ideal for agents that need on-demand news retrieval as part of a larger workflow without pre-provisioned credentials.

## Known failure modes
