## 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-indonesian-news-briefing-964d8ad3
```

Example prompt: Can you pull me the latest Indonesian finance news briefing — I want the top headlines, keywords, and which sources are most active right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, categorized Indonesian-language news data with keyword analytics and source rankings in a single call. It is ideal for agents that need to monitor Indonesian media, generate country-specific news briefings, or analyze trending topics across Indonesian news outlets. Prefer this over generic news APIs when Indonesian-language coverage and topic categorization (nasional, finance, techno, sport, etc.) are required.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid topic value returns an error or defaults to finance
- No articles found for a niche topic at certain times
- Payment not processed causes 402 response blocking access
- Upstream Google News RSS feed unavailable causing empty or stale results
- Rate limiting or quota exceeded returning an error response
