## 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 orbonomy-news-data-api-1dd5393c -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull 5 recent news articles about artificial intelligence for me?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call news retrieval for a specific topic without committing to a subscription-based news API. It is well-suited for agents that only occasionally need news data and want micro-payment billing via the x402 protocol.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required field 'topic' returns validation error
- Missing required field 'count' returns validation error
- Topic with no matching articles may return empty results or success:false
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks the request
- Invalid count type (non-integer) causes schema rejection
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion may return error response
