## 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 serp402-bing-news-search-8663eabf -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Bing News for 'electric vehicle subsidies' in the US market (en-US), sorted by date from the last 24 hours, and return the top 10 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need Bing News results specifically — particularly when you need market/locale targeting, country-specific news perspectives, or date-range filtering that Google News APIs may not expose as cleanly. It requires no API key or subscription, charges per-call in USDC, and is ideal for agents that need programmatic, structured news data without managing credentials.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid country code (cc) returns empty or error response
- Unsupported market (mkt) string may fall back to default locale
- Invalid qft interval value may revert to best-match sorting
- count parameter is advisory and actual results may differ
- Query returning no news results for niche or obscure topics
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
