## 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-news-by-topic-8cf2e4b4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest news articles about artificial intelligence regulation for me?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically gather news content about a specific topic without managing your own scraping infrastructure, especially when you want pay-per-use pricing via crypto on Base chain and need results quickly without a subscription.

## Known failure modes

- Topic string is empty or missing — returns success: false
- Topic returns no results — data object may be empty
- Rate limit or payment failure — HTTP 402 if USDC payment is insufficient
- Upstream scraping failure — success: false with error detail in data
- Invalid request body format — HTTP 400 bad request
