## 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-endpoint-cf21281a -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 fetch of news articles on a specific topic without committing to a subscription-based news API. Ideal for lightweight agent workflows that occasionally need current events data and want to pay only per query at $0.05 USDC via the x402 protocol.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required field 'topic' — returns validation error
- Missing required field 'count' — returns validation error
- Invalid count type (non-integer) — returns schema validation error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol — returns 402 Payment Required
- Topic yields no results — may return success:true with empty article list
- Service unavailable — returns 5xx error
