## 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 rss-and-atom-feed-reader-podcast-episodes-bf13b220
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the latest 5 episodes from the podcast at https://feeds.megaphone.fm/ROOSTER7199283569 and show me each episode's title, publish date, duration, and the audio file URL?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need podcast-oriented metadata from an RSS feed — especially season/episode numbers, enclosures (audio file URLs and sizes), duration in seconds, and explicit flags. It is preferable over a generic RSS reader when the feed is a podcast and you need structured episode-level data beyond basic title/link/date. Use it instead of the generic feed reader when you need enclosure or podcast namespace fields.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unreachable feed URL returns an error status with a reason message
- Non-podcast RSS feed (no enclosure elements) returns episodes with null enclosure fields
- Malformed XML in feed may return a degraded flag with partial results
- Limit parameter outside 1-50 range may be rejected or clamped
- Feed requiring authentication or behind a paywall will fail to fetch
- Rate limiting or timeout on the remote feed server results in an error

## How this service works

Fetch a podcast RSS feed and list episodes: title, date, duration, enclosure, season and episode numbers, explicit flag.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with top-level podcast metadata (title, author, language, image URL, site link, explicit flag) and an array of episode objects, each containing title, published date (ISO 8601), duration in seconds and human-readable text, enclosure URL/type/byte length, season number, episode number, episode type, summary, explicit flag, and image URL. Also includes feed-level diagnostics: format detected, final URL after redirects, total item count, and number of items returned.
