## 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 rafid-news-video-generator-fde012c7 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Make me a 30-second vertical (9:16) news video in English with the headline 'Tech Giants Face New Antitrust Rules', using these facts: EU passes sweeping AI regulation, fines up to 6% of global revenue, compliance deadline is 2026 — include subtitles and background music.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically generate short-form news videos from structured text content — headline, summary, and fact bullets — with AI narration, music, and subtitles, especially for social media formats (9:16 vertical, 1:1 square) or broadcast (16:9). It is ideal for media automation pipelines, AI news agents, or content teams that need multilingual news video production at scale. Prefer it over generic video APIs when you have structured news content and need a purpose-built news-video workflow backed by MoneyPrinterTurbo.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required fields (headline, summary, or facts array) returns a 400 validation error
- Duration outside 5–120 second range is rejected
- Invalid aspect ratio enum value causes schema validation failure
- Upstream MoneyPrinterTurbo task failure may result in a completed status with null video URL
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks request before processing
- Source URLs that are inaccessible or malformed may be silently ignored
- Language codes not supported by the voice engine may fall back to default or fail
