## 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-search-abec05f8
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news about AI regulation in the US, in English, limited to 15 articles published anytime — and show me the headline, snippet, source name, and link for each.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs real-time news search results with rich metadata (authors, images, topics, source details) and fine-grained filtering by country, language, or time window. Prefer it over static news APIs when freshness matters and over general web search when structured, news-specific output fields are required.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'query' parameter returns a 400 error
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC causes a 402 Payment Required response
- Unsupported country or language code may return empty results
- Limit values outside 1–500 range are rejected
- Network or upstream news provider outage may return 503 or empty data array
