## 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 serper-google-news-search-via-serper-4da07027 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you search Google News for the latest articles about the Federal Reserve interest rate decision and show me titles, sources, and dates from the past week?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need current, real-world news articles about a topic — especially for recent events, breaking news, press coverage, or media monitoring. Prefer this over web search when the user specifically wants journalism and news sources rather than general web content, and over Scholar when the content needed is current events rather than academic literature.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results for very obscure or highly specific queries
- Rate limit or quota errors if too many requests are made
- Query too vague returns irrelevant or mixed-topic articles
- Date filtering may not always constrain results as expected
- Non-English queries may return inconsistent results depending on language/region settings

## How this service works

Google News search - returns news articles with titles, links, sources, dates, and snippets. Use for current events, press coverage, competitor monitoring, or media research. Pagination billing: call the first page normally and save billing.requestId from the Orthogonal /v1/run response. For later page, offset, or cursor calls on the same logical search, pass parentRequestId with unchanged non-pagination parameters. Valid continuation calls still get their own request IDs and quoted price, but are charged 0. Changing filters starts a new billable request.

## Output

A list of news articles each containing: headline/title, article URL, news source name, publication date/time, and a brief text snippet summarizing the article content. Results are sourced in real-time from Google News.
