## 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-a4cf9301 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search the news for recent articles about 'OpenAI GPT-5 release' and give me a summary of what's being reported.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to programmatically search for recent news articles on a given topic, especially within a pay-per-use x402 micropayment workflow on Base chain. Prefer over manual web scraping when structured news results are needed quickly without managing scraping infrastructure.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'query' parameter returns a validation error
- Empty or overly broad query may return low-quality or no results
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance returns 402 Payment Required
- Rate limiting or quota exhaustion returns error response
- Suspicious or suspicious domain signals may indicate unreliable third-party provider
- Network timeout if the underlying scraping takes too long
