## 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 red-web-utils-rss-feed-parser-8644bcd1 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the RSS feed at https://feeds.arstechnica.com/arstechnica/index and give me the latest articles with their titles, links, and summaries?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a quick, pay-per-call serverless RSS parser that returns clean JSON without hosting your own feed-parsing infrastructure. Ideal for agents that need to ingest or monitor RSS/Atom feeds on demand, especially in workflows using x402 micropayments on Base. Prefer this over general web scraping endpoints when the target URL is a valid RSS or Atom feed.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable feed URL returns an error or empty response
- Non-RSS/Atom URL (e.g. plain HTML page) may fail to parse or return malformed data
- Payment of $0.001 USDC on Base must be made via x402 protocol or the request will be rejected with HTTP 402
- Rate limiting or network timeouts on the upstream feed server may cause failures
- Malformed RSS XML may result in incomplete or missing fields in the response
