## 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-news-regulatory-intel-api-headlines-c53e6def
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest 20 Indian business headlines from all available sources — I want to see what's moving in Indian markets and any SEBI or RBI regulatory news today.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need aggregated, multi-publisher Indian financial and business news headlines in a single call, especially when monitoring Indian market movements, SEBI/RBI regulatory activity, or corporate news across Economic Times, Mint, Hindu Business Line, NDTV Profit, and Business Standard. Prefer this over scraping individual publisher sites when you need a unified, structured feed with summaries and timestamps.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not received or insufficient USDC — 402 Payment Required response
- Invalid source key provided — may return empty results or error
- limit parameter outside 1–50 range — schema validation error
- Feed unavailable or stale — reduced item count or empty items array
- Rate limiting or network timeout from upstream publishers
