## 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 sna4an-realtime-news-api-43c9eb7f -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest real-time news articles about artificial intelligence breakthroughs — use the top-headlines path with 'AI' as the keyword query parameter.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time or breaking news content and are comfortable using x402 micropayments. It is suitable for agents that need fresh news data without long-term API subscription management, especially when querying via familiar RapidAPI-style path and params patterns.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported RapidAPI sub-endpoint path returns an error or empty result
- Missing or malformed query parameters cause unexpected or empty responses
- Payment failure via x402 protocol results in 402 status and no content returned
- RapidAPI upstream rate limits or outages cause delayed or failed responses
- Overly broad queries may return irrelevant or low-quality news results
