How this service works

Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://scrapfly.vercel.app/api/news/top?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real-time or near-real-time top news articles for a specific topic or keyword, especially in an agent context where you want to pay per request without a subscription. Prefer it over general web search endpoints when you specifically want news-formatted content. It is distinct from full-page scrapers because it is purpose-built to surface top news results for a query.
Side effects
- Empty or vague query returns no results or low-quality matches
- Query string too long or malformed returns a validation error
- Scraping target temporarily blocked leads to empty or partial results
- Network timeout if upstream news sources are slow to respond
- Payment not processed (x402 flow fails) results in 402 error before scraping begins
