## 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-e63cf12f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the RSS feed at https://feeds.arstechnica.com/arstechnica/index and convert it to markdown, giving me up to 10 items?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to fetch and parse a public RSS 2.0 or Atom feed and want the output as human-readable Markdown rather than raw XML. It handles redirect following, size limits, and format detection automatically. Prefer it over generic HTTP fetch tools when the target is a syndication feed and Markdown output is the desired format. Not suitable for private/authenticated feeds, HTTP-only feeds, or feeds larger than 1 MB.

## Known failure modes

- Non-HTTPS URLs (http, file, data, localhost, private IPs) are rejected outright
- Feed body exceeds 1 MB cap — returns an error
- Request times out after ~10 seconds if the feed server is slow
- More than 5 redirects causes failure
- Malformed or non-feed XML returns a parse error
- Invalid or unreachable URL returns a fetch error
- max_items above 50 is capped silently 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 }.

## Output

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