## 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 indo-news-api-2494a95c
```

Example prompt: Search Indonesian news for 'pertamina' and give me recent headlines, keyword trends, and which sources are covering it the most.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, aggregated Indonesian-language news data about a specific brand, person, or issue — especially when you need keyword frequency analysis, source breakdowns, and article timelines in a single API call. Prefer it over general news APIs when Indonesian-language coverage and structured analytics are required, and when your agent can handle USDC micropayments via x402 on Base.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or empty 'q' query parameter returns an error
- Query with no matching Indonesian news returns empty arrays
- Non-Indonesian queries may yield sparse or irrelevant results
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC on Base) blocks access with HTTP 402
- Rate limiting or upstream Google News RSS outage may cause timeouts or empty results

## How this service works

Indonesian headlines, keyword search and ranked briefings, plus reference data: USD/IDR and any FX pair, BTC/ETH/USDT in rupiah, BMKG earthquakes and public holidays. Structured JSON, paid per call in USDC on Base. No API key, no signup.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: the original query, an array of latest articles (each with title, link, source, pubDate, and snippet), keyword frequency counts, a day-by-day article count timeline, top news sources with article counts, total source count, total article count, and a generatedAt timestamp.
