## 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 scrapfly-local-news-api-0db1d157 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest local news for Austin, Texas and show me what's happening there right now?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically retrieve local news for a specific geographic area and want pay-per-request pricing via crypto (USDC on Base). Prefer this over general search APIs when you specifically need scraped local news content tied to a location string.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unrecognized geo string returns empty or failed result
- Payment failure on Base chain results in 402 response
- Geo parameter missing causes validation error
- Target news site unavailable or blocked causes scraping failure
- Malformed response from upstream news source

## How this service works
