## 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 nexusapi-ai-headlines-382c88e7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the latest AI-curated headlines about the Federal Reserve interest rate decision? I want to see what's being reported right now.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, keyword-driven headline retrieval across general news topics without managing API keys, and when paying per-call in USDC on Base is acceptable. Prefer this over full news API subscriptions for lightweight, on-demand headline lookups in agent workflows where setup overhead should be minimal.

## Known failure modes

- Empty or vague query returns irrelevant or no results
- Query for very obscure topics may return few or no headlines
- Service may return stale results if news index is not real-time
- Payment failure in USDC on Base blocks the call entirely
- Overly broad queries may return low-relevance mixed results

## How this service works
