> Tanod utilpeek News Search is a paid API for AI agents from tanod.dev, paid per call via x402, $0.003/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-10-11).

## 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 tanod-utilpeek-news-search-32d2cbf3 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest news on stablecoin regulation from the past 24 hours — give me up to 20 headlines with links, sources, and timestamps, and include sentiment labels for each.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs freshly indexed real-world news articles — headlines, links, sources, and timestamps — especially when recency matters (last hours to 7 days). It is better than general web search when you specifically want news articles rather than arbitrary web pages, and when optional per-headline sentiment scoring is useful. Prefer it over social media search when you want traditional press sources. The GDELT backend provides broad multilingual coverage and optional domain filtering.

## Known failure modes

- Query returns no results if topic is too obscure or outside GDELT coverage window
- Invalid ISO 639-1 language code returns an error or empty result
- Requested domain has no indexed articles in the given timespan
- Sentiment analysis only applies to English headlines; non-English may return null sentiment
- Since value outside 1-168 range or malformed query triggers a validation error
- Rate limiting or payment failure results in a 402 response
