## 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 manylives-news-feed-crypto-market-news-with-sentiment-d457e9fb
```

Example prompt: Pull the last 24 hours of news for BTC — up to 50 items — and show me the headlines, sentiment scores, and any hack or listing events.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, sentiment-scored, novelty-rated news headlines for a specific crypto or stock ticker, sector, or macro market entity, especially when you want pay-per-call access without an account, or when you need a verifiable proof reference for the data returned. Prefer it over generic news APIs when building AI trading agents that require event-typed, entity-tagged news with aggregate sentiment metrics.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'entity' query parameter returns a validation error
- Invalid entity format or unrecognized symbol may return zero results
- lookback_hours outside 1-168 range may be rejected or clamped
- limit outside 1-100 range may be rejected
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC causes 402 Payment Required
- as_of timestamp in unrecognized format may return an error
- Rate limits or network issues may cause transient 5xx errors

## How this service works

Pay-per-call tools for people building AI agents: live web search and page contents, point-in-time crypto market data and news for backtests (no lookahead), verifiable track records of 1,000 crypto strategies locked on the Base network, company profiles, quick AI and batch prices. Ask us to turn a public website into a JSON endpoint. Pay per call, no account, free trial.

## Output

A JSON object containing a list of up to 100 news items for the queried entity, each with headline, URL, source, publication time, first-seen time, event type, sentiment score, novelty score, entity tags, and cluster ID. Also includes aggregate sentiment mean, item count, the query window start time, an as_of timestamp, and a proof reference URL for verifying the response on-chain.
