## 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`):

```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest real-time news about the Federal Reserve interest rate decision today?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time or breaking news retrieval on a pay-per-use basis without a subscription, especially in automated agent workflows that require current event awareness on demand. It is best suited for scenarios where news freshness is critical and cost-per-call economics make sense over a recurring subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or invalid query input returns a generic error
- Upstream news source unavailable may cause empty or stale results
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC) blocks the request with a 402 response
- Schema mismatch if expected fields are absent from the result object
