## 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-real-time-news-data-1ffb6410 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest real-time news articles about AI regulation right now — I need current headlines and stories on that topic?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, up-to-the-minute news data via a pay-per-request model using USDC on Base chain, especially in agentic workflows that require on-demand news fetching without a subscription commitment. Prefer it over subscription news APIs when you need flexible, low-volume access to current headlines across a broad range of topics.

## Known failure modes

- Insufficient USDC balance causes payment failure (402 response)
- Vague or missing query parameters may return generic or empty results
- Rate limiting if too many requests are sent in quick succession
- Upstream news provider outage may result in stale or empty data
- Malformed request body returns an error response
