## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a low-cost, pay-per-call crypto news feed that accepts USDC micropayments via x402 on Base — ideal for agents that want to fetch current cryptocurrency headlines without a subscription, especially when filtering by a specific coin category like BTC or ETH.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not settled — 402 response if USDC payment via x402 is not provided or fails
- Invalid category string — may return empty results or an error if the category value is unrecognized
- Limit out of range — integer validation error if limit exceeds allowed bounds
- Service unavailable — hosted on Render free tier, cold starts may cause timeouts
- Empty result set — valid response but no articles if the category has no recent news

## How this service works

Pay-per-call crypto, RWA, federal, SEC, and compliance APIs. Settled in USDC on Base via x402. Hyphen routes only (e.g. /x402/rwa-aggregates, /x402/gas-tracker).

## Output

A list of cryptocurrency news articles (up to the specified limit), each likely containing a headline, source, publication timestamp, summary or body, and category tags. The response is JSON and is returned after a successful x402 micropayment of $0.001 USDC on Base.
