How this service works
Public data and utility APIs paid per call in USDC on Base (x402). No accounts, no API keys. 174 routes: crypto/equity data, onchain reads, DNS/email/security intel, geo/weather, x402 payment diagnostics, dev utilities and more.
Output
Returns a JSON object with an 'items' array, where each item contains a news article title, a URL link to the full story, and a publication date string. Also includes the 'source' field identifying the news provider (e.g. BBC News).
Example use cases
Morning news briefing for users
“Grab me the latest general news headlines this morning — I want the title, link, and publish date for each story so I can skim what's happening today.”
News monitoring agent integration
“Every hour, fetch the current general news feed and tell me if there are any new stories I haven't seen yet — show me the headline and the link.”
Content aggregation for a newsletter
“Pull today's top general news articles — I need the headline, publication date, and URL for each one to include in a daily roundup.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://anibalb.duckdns.org/x402/general-news?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a no-account, no-API-key, pay-per-call general news feed with pay-as-you-go USDC micropayments on Base. Ideal for agents that need occasional news lookups without committing to a subscription news API. Best for lightweight headline fetching rather than full-article content or niche topic filtering.
Side effects
- Payment failure if USDC balance or x402 header is missing or malformed
- Upstream news source unavailable causing empty or error response
- Rate limiting or temporary server unavailability on the duckdns host
- Stale or cached data if the upstream RSS feed has not refreshed recently
- Network timeout from duckdns dynamic DNS resolution
