## 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-search-api-7315fca4 -d '<json body>'
```

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to search for news articles on a specific topic, keyword, or entity and want results aggregated via ScrapFly's scraping infrastructure. Prefer this over generic web search when you specifically need news content and are willing to pay per request via USDC on Base chain.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'query' field returns validation error
- Empty or overly broad query returns sparse results
- Network timeout if downstream news sources are slow
- Malformed query string may return zero results
- Payment failure via x402 on Base chain blocks the request
