## 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 saylor-innovations-spaceflight-news-api-b13f67d4
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest spaceflight news headlines about Starship — maybe the top 5 articles with summaries and links?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, headline-level spaceflight news data (SpaceX, NASA, Starship, launches) with summaries and source links, especially when keyword filtering by topic is needed. It is purpose-built for the space/aerospace domain and returns clean, agent-consumable JSON rather than raw HTML, making it preferable over general web scraping for this niche.

## Known failure modes

- No articles returned if keyword query matches nothing — empty articles array
- Invalid limit value (outside 1-20 range) may produce an error or be clamped
- Network timeout if upstream news data source is unavailable
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient or payment header is malformed

## Output

A JSON object containing an array of news articles (each with title, summary, source site, and link), the interpreted query string, the data source name, and the total number of matching articles before limit is applied.
