## 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-bb476f8f -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 retrieve real-time or recent news content for a specific topic via web scraping, especially in an agent workflow that pays per request over the Base blockchain. Prefer this over static news APIs when freshness and breadth of scraping is more important than structured editorial data.

## Known failure modes

- Topic string missing or empty — returns validation error
- Topic yields no results — returns success:true with empty data
- Upstream scraping blocked or rate-limited — returns success:false
- Payment not completed — returns 402 Payment Required
- Invalid request body format — returns 400 error

## How this service works
