## 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-medscape-emedicine-clinical-articles-search-4eab1d45
```

Example prompt: Can you find me up to 10 Medscape eMedicine cardiology articles that mention 'atrial fibrillation' in the title, and include the summary, author, and last-reviewed date for the top results?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to discover or enumerate Medscape eMedicine clinical reference articles by medical specialty, optionally filtered by title keywords. It is the right choice when you need structured metadata (title, URL, article ID, author, last-reviewed date) from Medscape's specialty indexes without needing full article text. Prefer this over general web search when you specifically want eMedicine/Medscape Reference articles rather than arbitrary medical web pages.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'specialty' parameter returns an error
- Invalid specialty value not in the allowed enum returns an error
- Keyword filter 'q' exceeding 100 characters is rejected
- Limit outside 1-200 range may be rejected or clamped
- Medscape article page unavailable causes details enrichment to fail or return partial data
- Network timeout from upstream Medscape pages when details=true increases latency or errors

## How this service works

Medscape eMedicine (Medscape Reference) clinical articles by specialty: title, topic category, article id and URL from the public specialty index, filtered by words in the title. With details=true the first 5 matches also get summary, author, last-reviewed date and paywall flag from the article page. Metadata only, no article text (Medscape articles need a free login).

## Output

A list of Medscape eMedicine article records from the requested specialty index, each containing title, topic category, article ID, and URL. When details=true, the first 5 results are enriched with a summary, author name, last-reviewed date, and a paywall flag indicating whether a free login is required to read the full article.
