## 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 stableenrich-news-98b31da4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search Google News for the latest 10 articles about OpenAI in the US in English and show me the headlines, sources, and links.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time Google News results with article metadata (title, source, snippet, date, image) for a keyword query. Prefer this over Exa Search when you specifically want news coverage rather than general web results, and over manual scraping when you need structured, clean news data with localization support (country and language filtering).

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'q' parameter returns a 400 validation error
- Invalid country code (not 2 characters) returns a 400 validation error
- Query returns no results for niche or misspelled topics — empty news array
- Rate limiting or upstream Serper API failure returns a 5xx error
- num exceeding 100 returns a 400 validation error
