## 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 india-data-gateway-news-headlines-bf30be82
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest 20 headlines from Indian news — include Economic Times, Mint, and NDTV — and summarize what's happening in markets and politics today.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need aggregated, multi-source Indian news headlines in a single call without managing API keys or subscriptions. It is ideal when you want to monitor Indian current affairs, financial news, or general headlines across major outlets like Economic Times, Mint, The Hindu, NDTV, and Business Standard. Prefer it over general web search when you want structured, consistently formatted headline data with summaries and timestamps rather than raw HTML. It is a pay-per-call x402 endpoint settled in USDC on Base, making it suitable for agent workflows that need lightweight, on-demand news ingestion without account setup overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid source key returns empty or error response
- limit out of range (below 1 or above 50) returns validation error
- No fresh articles available may return empty items array
- Payment failure via x402 returns 402 status blocking the response
- Upstream scraping issues may cause stale or missing content for some sources

## How this service works

The India data layer for AI agents. Pay only for the calls you make — no API keys, no accounts, no minimums, no rate limits. One x402 origin covering Indian weather (forecasts, monsoon), markets (stocks, indices, F&O with Black-Scholes Greeks, historical, mutual funds), RBI macro, identity/format verification (IFSC, pincode, GSTIN), NSE market holidays, panchang (Hindu almanac), and live cricket scores. Settle per call in USDC on Base.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a count of results, an array of headline items (each containing title, URL link, source key, source name, summary, and ISO 8601 publication timestamp), and a list of source keys that were returned in the response.
