## 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 ishob-feed-reader-836e06b0
```

Example prompt: Fetch the latest 10 posts from the RSS feed at https://feeds.arstechnica.com/arstechnica/index and give me each article's title, link, and summary.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, parsed feed data from any RSS or Atom URL without setting up your own feed parser. It's ideal for agents that need to monitor blogs, news sources, podcasts, or newsletters for new content on a per-call basis. No API key required and priced at $0.0003 per call makes it suitable for lightweight, frequent polling by autonomous agents.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable feed URL returns an error (malformed URI or DNS failure)
- URL points to a page with no discoverable feed link, returning empty or error response
- Feed format is non-standard or malformed XML causing parse failure
- Requested limit exceeds maximum of 100, causing validation error
- Remote feed server is rate-limiting or blocking requests, resulting in timeout or 4xx response
