# Cointelegraph Crypto News API (apitoll.cloud)

> Cointelegraph Crypto News API (apitoll.cloud) is a paid API for AI agents from news.apitoll.cloud, paid per call via x402, $0.001/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Fetches real-time cryptocurrency news from Cointelegraph — either the latest feed or full-text search results — across 14 language locales, returning article title, lead, body, author, category, timestamp, and view count.

## 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 news-apitoll-cloud-69c94fbc
```

Example prompt: Pull the 20 latest Cointelegraph news articles in English about bitcoin ETFs, including the full article text and view counts.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, structured cryptocurrency news from Cointelegraph specifically — especially when you need full article body text, multi-locale support, or full-text search across crypto topics like bitcoin, ethereum, DeFi, or regulation. Prefer this over generic news APIs when Cointelegraph's crypto-native editorial coverage is desired.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported locale code returns an error
- limit out of range (outside 1-50) causes a validation error
- Search query with no matching articles returns an empty articles array
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Upstream Cointelegraph GraphQL API downtime causes timeout or 5xx error

## How this service works

Latest crypto news and breaking headlines, real-time from Cointelegraph. Search any topic (bitcoin, ethereum, DeFi, regulation, market sentiment) or pull the live feed, with full article text across 14 languages. Built for agents tracking crypto markets, tokens, and Web3.

## Output

A JSON object containing the locale, article count, optional search query, source identifier, and an array of articles — each with title, lead, full plain-text body, author, category, post badge, published timestamp, and view count.
