## 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 openwebninja-realtime-news-by-topic-section-0eea307d
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest top 20 TECHNOLOGY news articles in English for the US right now — I want headlines, links, snippets, and source names.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time, topic-categorized news headlines with rich metadata (authors, images, snippets, related topics) and can accept Google News as the underlying source. Prefer this over generic web search when you want structured news data organized by standard editorial categories (WORLD, TECHNOLOGY, HEALTH, etc.) and need to filter by country or language. Best suited for news feeds, briefings, and monitoring flows that require fresh articles on demand.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'topic' query parameter returns a 400/422 validation error
- Invalid topic enum value (not in WORLD/NATIONAL/BUSINESS/TECHNOLOGY/ENTERTAINMENT/SPORTS/SCIENCE/HEALTH) causes rejection
- Unsupported country or language code may return empty results or an error
- Exceeding limit of 500 returns a validation error
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC balance returns a 402 Payment Required response
- Rate limiting or upstream Google News unavailability may result in 503 or empty data
