## 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 orbit-crypto-news-d015f63e
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest crypto news from the past hour filtered by the 'security' and 'defi' topics — I want deduplicated headlines with summaries, tickers, and source URLs.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a broad, deduplicated crypto news feed aggregated from 37 reputable sources without building your own scraper. It is ideal for polling-based monitoring (using the since cursor), filtering by topic or ticker, or tracking protocol GitHub releases alongside editorial news. Prefer it over single-source RSS feeds when coverage breadth matters, or when you need structured per-article metadata (tickers, topics, summaries) ready for downstream analysis.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC — 402 Payment Required response
- Invalid filter parameters — may return empty result set with no error
- since cursor too far in the past — may return large payload or truncated results
- Temporary source outage — sources_ok count may be less than 37, freshness may degrade
- Rate limiting — repeated rapid calls may be throttled
