## 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-network-rss-atom-feed-normalizer-2b93b975 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the RSS feed at https://feeds.arstechnica.com/arstechnica/index and give me the feed title and all the article titles and links as structured JSON?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-use, keyless way to fetch and normalize any public RSS or Atom feed into clean JSON without setting up accounts or infrastructure. Ideal for agents that need to read syndication feeds on demand, build lightweight news aggregators, or integrate feed data into workflows without parsing raw XML. Prefer this over self-hosted parsers when simplicity and zero setup are priorities.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable URL returns an error — the feed must be publicly accessible
- Non-RSS/Atom URLs (e.g. plain HTML pages) will fail to parse
- Feeds behind authentication or paywalls cannot be fetched
- Malformed or non-standard feed XML may cause parsing failures
- Network timeouts if the feed host is slow to respond

## How this service works

Fetch an RSS or Atom feed and return it as one canonical JSON document: the feed title and its entries with title and link. POST /v1/rss with {url} and get the normalized feed back. Reflects the feed at fetch time. Pay per request in USDC; no account, no API key.

## Output

A normalized JSON object containing the feed's title and an array of entries, each with a title and link. The response is wrapped in a portal envelope with serviceId, provenance, and schemaCheck fields alongside the data payload.
