## 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 newstex-full-story-body-retrieval-eea9dc87
```

Example prompt: Pull up the full text of the Newstex story with ID 'NTX-2024-0583921' — I need the complete licensed article body, not just the headline or summary.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you have already obtained a valid Newstex story_id from a metadata search result and need the full licensed article text. This is the correct endpoint for retrieving complete story content — not just headlines or summaries. Choose this over web scraping when you need reliably licensed, structured news content with a guaranteed body format. It pairs naturally with the Newstex story search endpoints: search first, then call this to get the full text of relevant results.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or non-existent story_id returns an error or empty response
- Story_id from an expired or inaccessible source may return a not-found error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in a 402 Payment Required response before content is delivered
- Malformed story_id parameter causes a bad request error
- Story not licensed for the requesting agent may return an access-denied response

## How this service works
