## 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 kiteendpoints-ai-crypto-news-api-crypto-news54-70e1f40b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest cryptocurrency news for me right now — I want to see what's trending in crypto today?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-request crypto news fetch without committing to a subscription-based news API. It is suitable for agents that need occasional news context for crypto-aware workflows and can pay micro-amounts in USDC on Base. Avoid if you need structured filtering by coin symbol, date range, or sentiment, as the schema does not expose those parameters.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 payment results in 402 Payment Required
- Malformed request body may return a 400 or empty result
- Upstream news data source unavailable causes empty or error response
- Endpoint may return stale or cached data if the underlying source is not real-time
- Generic schema with no crypto-specific parameters means limited filtering capability
