## 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-google-news-search-2f67acf8
```

Example prompt: Can you search Google News for the latest stories about 'OpenAI GPT-5' and show me the top 5 headlines, publishers, and when they were published?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, no-key Google News headline retrieval for any search query, especially when you only need metadata (headline, publisher, time, link) rather than full article text. Ideal for news monitoring, trend detection, press coverage checks, and research tasks where recency matters and article body content is not required. Prefer over paid news APIs when cost per call matters and the public Google News RSS index is sufficient coverage.

## Known failure modes

- Empty results if no matching stories exist for the query
- Query too long (over 200 characters) may be rejected
- Limit parameter out of range (must be 1–30) may cause an error
- Google News RSS feed unavailability may cause fetch failures
- Google News links are redirects — destination articles may be paywalled or removed
- Non-English or non-US edition results may not appear due to feed locality

## How this service works

Google News search (public Google News RSS search feed, no key, English/US edition): headline, publisher, publish time and the Google News link for the newest matching stories. Google News links redirect to the publisher; article text is not returned.

## Output

Returns a list of news stories (up to 30, default 10) each containing: story headline, publisher/source name, publish timestamp, and a Google News redirect URL pointing to the original article. Article body text is not included — only the metadata and link.
