## 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-crypto-news54-043c1387 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest cryptocurrency news headlines right now — especially anything about Bitcoin, Ethereum, or DeFi — using the KiteEndpoints crypto news feed?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-request crypto news lookups without a subscription commitment, and you're already operating within the x402/Base chain payment ecosystem. Best suited for agents that need occasional or sporadic crypto news fetches rather than a high-volume continuous feed.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or malformed POST body causing a 400 error
- Insufficient USDC balance or failed x402 payment resulting in a 402 Payment Required response
- Endpoint returning generic example response if no real data source is connected
- Rate limiting or timeout if the upstream news source is unavailable
- Empty or stale news data if the aggregation pipeline has not been recently updated
