## 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 sitecheck-web-intel-ap-news-articles-4b38fd65
```

Example prompt: Search AP News for articles about artificial intelligence published in the last 5 days and show me the 10 most recent headlines with their links.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, up-to-date AP News headlines and metadata (headline, time, link) without scraping AP's website directly. It is ideal for news monitoring, research, or briefing workflows where article body text is not required. Prefer this over general web search when you specifically want AP News sourcing and need reliable timestamps and pagination control.

## Known failure modes

- No articles found for the given query or date range — returns empty list
- Query exceeds 150 characters — likely rejected or truncated
- Days parameter outside 1-30 range — may return error or default behavior
- Google News RSS index may lag behind live AP News publication by minutes
- Google News redirect links may occasionally break or expire

## How this service works

Latest Associated Press (AP News) articles: headline, publisher, publish time and link, newest first, optionally matching search words, from the last 1-30 days. Found through Google News's public RSS index of apnews.com (the site blocks automated clients); links are Google News redirect links to the article. Headlines only, no article text.

## Output

A list of AP News articles (up to 100), each containing the headline, publisher name, publish timestamp, and a Google News redirect URL linking to the article. Results are ordered newest first. No article body text is included.
