Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability kiteendpoints-ai-crypto-news-api-crypto-news16-c5b3ea49 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest cryptocurrency news headlines for me right now — I want to see what's happening across Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the broader crypto market today?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-request access to crypto news without committing to a subscription API, especially in automated agent workflows that only occasionally need news data and want to pay micro-fees in USDC on Base chain.

## Known failure modes

- Payment failure if USDC balance on Base chain is insufficient (402 error)
- Empty or stale news results if the upstream news source is unavailable
- Generic or vague response schema may return minimal data without structured fields
- Rate limiting or timeout if the endpoint is under high load
- No filtering parameters exposed, limiting ability to query specific coins or topics
