## 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-atom-feed-to-markdown-converter-21e8bda2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Grab the RSS feed at https://feeds.arstechnica.com/arstechnica/index and convert it to markdown, giving me the latest 10 items.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to fetch and convert a remote RSS 2.0 or Atom feed into readable Markdown and structured JSON in a single step, without standing up your own feed parser. Ideal for agents that need to summarize, display, or process blog posts, news feeds, or podcast listings from public HTTPS URLs. Prefer this over scraping HTML pages when the source publishes a proper RSS or Atom feed.

## Known failure modes

- HTTP URLs rejected — only HTTPS allowed
- Private IPs, localhost, file://, and data:// URIs are rejected with an error
- Feed body exceeding 1 MB will be truncated or rejected
- Feeds that take longer than ~10 seconds to load will timeout
- More than 5 redirects will cause a failure
- Invalid or malformed RSS/Atom XML returns a parse error
- max_items values above 50 are capped at 50

## How this service works

Convert a public https RSS 2.0 or Atom feed URL to tidy markdown ($0.005 USDC via x402). https only — http, file, data, localhost, and private IPs are rejected. Caps: 1 MB body, ~10s timeout, max 5 redirects. Optional max_items (default 20, cap 50). Returns JSON { url, final_url, feed_title?, feed_link?, format, items, markdown, item_count, warnings }. Provided as is, with no warranty or guarantee of accuracy or fitness. Nothing is stored.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: the original URL, the final URL after redirects, optional feed title and link, feed format (RSS 2.0 or Atom), an array of parsed feed items, a full markdown rendering of the feed, total item count, and any warnings encountered during parsing.
