## 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-market-news-brief-9fbac8ce -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Give me today's market news brief — a quick cited bullet summary of what's happening across stocks, crypto, and FX right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a no-setup, instant market news summary with cited sources and no authentication overhead. It is ideal for agents that need a quick, disposable market briefing without managing API keys, subscriptions, or session state — simply pay $0.05 per call via x402 and receive a ready-to-use digest. Prefer this over scraping financial sites or calling multiple news APIs when speed and citation quality matter and the use case is a daily or on-demand briefing rather than deep historical research.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure via x402 protocol — call is not processed if USDC payment of $0.05 is not completed
- No news available if digest has not been published yet for the current day
- Live market wire data may be delayed or unavailable during off-hours or outages
- Rate limiting or service unavailability returning 5xx errors
- Stale data if market wire feed has not refreshed recently

## How this service works

Today's market-news brief in one call: the platform's newest published news digest synthesized with the live market wire into a cited bullet brief — every finding ends with its source URL. $0.05 per call, pay-only over x402 — no account, no free tier, no input required.

## Output

A structured bullet-point brief of today's market news, synthesizing the platform's latest published news digest with live market wire data. Each bullet point represents a distinct market development or headline and is accompanied by its source URL for verification. No input is required — the response is a ready-to-read digest of current market conditions.
