Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-search-d04f8db4
```

Example prompt: Can you search for the latest news articles about the US Federal Reserve interest rate decision and show me the headlines, sources, and when they were published?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fast, keyword-based global news search with structured metadata (title, source, time) and don't need full article body text. It is backed by Google News, making it suitable for broad international coverage. Use the sibling web-fetch endpoint if you need full article content after finding articles here.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if keyword is too obscure or misspelled
- Rate limiting or payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient (x402 payment required per call)
- No schema-defined query parameters documented — exact keyword parameter name may need to be inferred
- Results may be stale if Google News index hasn't refreshed recently
- Non-English queries may return fewer results depending on regional news coverage

News Search — Google News search: search global news by keyword, returns title, source, and time.
