## 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-e88b21c1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Fetch me 5 recent news articles about artificial intelligence using Orbonomy's news endpoint.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call news retrieval without a subscription, and you want to specify both a topic and a precise number of articles to return. Suitable for lightweight news lookups in agent workflows where per-call USDC micropayments via x402 are acceptable.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'topic' or 'count' fields returns a validation error
- Invalid 'count' type (non-integer) causes a schema rejection
- Topic yields no matching articles, returning empty results
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks access
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion on the provider side
- Backup domain may be unavailable or unstable
