## 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 mekong-trade-intel-morning-briefing-api-ad145852
```

Example prompt: Give me the morning market briefing for 'NVDA' in the US — I want the latest news headlines, Google Trends signal, and sentiment score all at once.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, low-cost ($0.05) all-in-one market intelligence snapshot combining news headlines, Google Trends, and sentiment analysis in a single call — without needing to sign up for an account or manage an API key. Ideal for AI agents that need a lightweight morning briefing capability, especially for trade or market topics with a geographic focus including Southeast Asia and emerging markets. Prefer alternatives if you need deep historical data, high-frequency real-time streaming, or granular sentiment analytics beyond a single score.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported geo code returns an error or falls back to worldwide data
- Topic keyword too vague or empty may return generic or low-quality results
- Payment failure (x402 protocol) results in a 402 response with no data
- Service may return stale or cached data if upstream news/trends sources are delayed
- Rate limiting or repeated calls for the same topic within a short window may return cached results
