> Indo News API – Brand & Topic Monitor is a paid API for AI agents from indo-news-api.vercel.app, paid per call via x402, $1/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-31).

## 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-brand-topic-monitor-f5f06b4b
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest Indonesian news coverage on Tokopedia — I want to see which outlets are writing about them, how many articles there are, and any trending keywords from those stories?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, aggregated Indonesian-language news data for a specific brand, person, or topic — especially when you need keyword trend analysis, source breakdowns, and publication timelines in a single call. Prefer this over generic news APIs when Indonesian-language coverage and structured JSON output (with frequency and timeline metadata) are required. Avoid if you need real-time global news, non-Indonesian language sources, or full article body text.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'q' parameter returns a 400-level error
- Query term with no Indonesian coverage returns empty arrays
- Service may return stale data if upstream Google News RSS is slow
- Non-Indonesian queries may return sparse or no results
- Payment failure via x402 (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the request

## 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

A JSON object containing: the original query string, an array of latest articles (each with title, link, source, publication date, and snippet), keyword frequency list with counts, a daily timeline of article volume, top news sources with article counts, total source count, total article count, and a generatedAt timestamp.
