## 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 mat-web-data-toolkit-rss-feed-parser-1b56a46c
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the RSS feed at https://hnrss.org/frontpage and give me a structured list of the latest articles, including their titles, links, dates, and summaries?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to parse a public RSS or Atom feed URL into structured JSON with per-item metadata (title, link, date, summary). Prefer this over a general web scraper when the target site publishes an RSS feed, as it returns clean, pre-structured data without HTML parsing. Ideal for news aggregation, content monitoring, and feed-driven workflows.

## Known failure modes

- URL is not a valid RSS or Atom feed — returns error or empty/malformed JSON
- Target URL returns a non-200 HTTP status — fetch fails
- Feed URL requires authentication or is behind a paywall — content unavailable
- Malformed XML in the feed causes parsing failure
- Network timeout if the upstream RSS server is slow to respond

## How this service works

Fetches a public web page and returns its title, meta description, outbound links and readable plain text as JSON.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the feed title, format (e.g. 'rss'), total item count, and an array of items each with a title, link, date, and summary string.
