## 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-trending-feeds-9b768f5d -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What's trending right now across Google, Wikipedia, GitHub, and Hacker News? Show me up to 20 items per section.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a multi-source trending snapshot in a single call rather than querying Google Trends, GitHub, Wikipedia, and Hacker News APIs separately. It is ideal for daily briefings, trend monitoring dashboards, or content discovery agents that need cross-platform signals with traffic estimates and story context at low cost per call.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid date format returns a 400 error
- Requesting a past edition too far back may return empty results if data is unavailable
- Invalid section enum value returns a validation error
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 or 429 response
- The text filter returning no matches yields an empty result set rather than an error

## How this service works

One attention snapshot: Google's trending searches in the US with traffic estimates and the stories behind them, the most-read Wikipedia articles (yesterday), today's trending GitHub repositories with stars gained, and the Hacker News front page with points and comment counts. Rebuilt every hour. $0.01 per call, no account. Free 24h-delayed sample: GET https://ioswarm.io/api/v1/feeds/trending/sample.

## Output

A structured feed of trending items grouped by section (google_trends, wikipedia, github, hacker_news), each with titles, traffic or engagement estimates, brief contextual summaries, and relevant metadata such as repository language or story URLs
