## 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 open-source-ecosystem-news-for-research-teams-422f911a -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up to 8 recent news articles about open source funding and governance for my research team — specifically focused on licensing and recent project releases?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when a research team needs a quick, structured feed of recent open source ecosystem news — particularly around releases, governance, funding, and licensing — with publisher provenance and dates included. It is best suited for briefings, literature reviews, or monitoring workflows where attribution matters. Prefer it over general web search when the focus is explicitly the open source software domain and when citation-ready publisher links are needed.

## Known failure modes

- No articles found for a very narrow or unusual query — returns empty result set
- max_results out of range (below 1 or above 10) causes validation error
- Query too vague may return loosely related articles
- Upstream news source unavailable — service may return partial results or error
- Payment not processed correctly via x402 — request rejected before execution
