Endpoint
GEThttps://x402.openwebninja.com/real-time-news-search/search?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, freshly indexed news articles without setting up an account or API key — especially useful for AI agents that need pay-per-call access to current news data at low cost ($0.003/call). Prefer it over traditional news APIs when you want frictionless crypto micropayment billing and broad web-crawled news coverage across topics.
Side effects
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient or x402 handshake fails
- Empty results if the query matches no recent indexed news
- Rate limiting or 429 if too many calls are made in quick succession
- Malformed or missing query parameter returns an error
- Stale results if the underlying news index has not refreshed recently
