## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability rig20-news-insight-api-4849c484
```

Example prompt: Pull the top 20 news stories and synthesize them into a single insight briefing for me right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, pay-per-call AI-synthesized news briefing without a subscription or API key — ideal for agents that need occasional news insight on demand, billed in USDC via x402. Prefer over traditional news APIs when LLM-generated synthesis and insight (not raw headlines) is the desired output.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or invalid USDC x402 payment — returns 402 Payment Required
- n parameter out of range (below 5 or above 30) — may return 400 Bad Request or clamp to defaults
- Upstream news data unavailable — may return 503 or empty result set
- LLM inference timeout — possible 504 or partial response
