## 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-6adbd038 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch me 5 recent news articles about electric vehicles from Orbonomy?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call news lookup on a specific topic without a subscription, especially in x402-compatible agent workflows where micropayments are acceptable and you want a small batch of articles on demand.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'topic' or 'count' field returns validation error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 response and no data
- Topic with no matching articles may return empty results
- Invalid count value (non-integer or negative) may cause a 400 error
- Service downtime or upstream news feed failure may return 5xx error
