## 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 ioswarm-io-news-digest-f33382ff -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull together a same-day news digest on the Israel-Gaza ceasefire negotiations — I want a cross-outlet summary with each item dated and attributed, primary sources separated from corroboration.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a multi-source, attributed news digest on a specific topic or region with dated items and clear sourcing — especially when distinguishing primary reporting from corroboration matters. It is better suited than a simple search or feed for users who need a structured, ready-to-read briefing rather than raw links. Prefer it over a live search when synthesis and attribution quality matter more than instantaneous results, and when a 3–10 minute async delivery window is acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Topic too vague or broad — digest may miss key angles
- No news available for the topic on the day of the request — empty or minimal digest
- Poll URL must be checked after 3–10 minutes; premature polling returns incomplete results
- Payment of $0.75 USDC not received — run not initiated
- Unreachable or rate-limited news sources — some outlets may be missing from the digest

## How this service works

A same-day, cross-outlet news digest on a topic or region, every item dated and attributed, with the primary source separated from corroboration. Pay $0.75 USDC per run; the response carries a run id and poll URL, the report lands in 3–10 minutes. No account needed — the paying wallet becomes the account and an API key is returned once.

## Output

A structured same-day news digest covering the requested topic or region, with multiple items each carrying a date, outlet attribution, primary source, and corroborating sources. The immediate response includes a run ID and a poll URL; the full report is delivered asynchronously within 3–10 minutes. An API key is also returned on first call for the paying wallet.
