Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.molcloud.net/api/news/trending?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an autonomous agent needs a lightweight, pay-per-request trending news feed without committing to a subscription, especially when USDC micropayments via x402 on Base are already part of the agent's payment stack. Ideal for agents that need occasional or event-driven news lookups rather than continuous polling.
Side effects
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient or x402 handshake fails
- Empty stories array if no stories match the topic keyword filter
- Invalid limit parameter returns default of 8 stories
- Network timeout at the edge returns no data
- Malformed queryParams result in 400-level error
