## 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 sitesy-feed-reader-54619573
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch and parse the RSS feed at https://feeds.arstechnica.com/arstechnica/index and give me a list of the recent articles with their dates and summaries?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to ingest content from any syndication format (RSS, Atom, or RDF) and want a unified, normalized output without handling feed parsing yourself. Ideal for agents that monitor blogs, news sites, or podcasts and need dated, summarized entries in a consistent structure. Prefer this over raw HTTP fetching when you want automatic format detection and normalization across feed types.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed feed URL returns an error
- URL points to a non-feed page (HTML instead of XML) causing parse failure
- Feed server is unreachable or returns a non-200 status
- Feed uses a non-standard or unsupported format
- Empty feed with no items returns an empty list
- Payment not included or insufficient funds returns a 402 error
