## 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 pocket-factory-korean-news-search-3e84de3e
```

Example prompt: Search Korean news for recent articles about real estate policy and give me 10 results — I need the titles, URLs, and dates.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you specifically need to search Korean-language news sources with a natural-language query. It is ideal for agents that need to gather Korean media coverage on a topic, monitor Korean press on policy or business events, or retrieve source-linked articles with publication dates. Prefer this over general web search when Korean news specifically is required.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'q' query parameter returns a validation error
- Limit outside 1-20 range may be rejected or clamped
- No articles found returns an empty articles array with count 0
- Network or upstream news source errors return a server error
- Non-Korean or very obscure queries may return few or no results
