How this service works
Latest headlines by category for AI agents.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a count of results, the echoed query, the freshness window used, response time in milliseconds, and an array of articles — each containing the URL, title, source publication, a short summary, category tag, published datetime, relevance score, and age in minutes. Also includes a 'freshest' timestamp indicating the most recent article found.
Example use cases
Crypto market briefing for trading bot
“Grab the 5 most recent crypto headlines from the last 30 minutes so I can see what news might be driving price action right now.”
Morning tech news digest
“Give me the top 10 tech headlines from the past 24 hours — I want a quick briefing on what happened in the tech world overnight.”
Energy sector monitoring for analyst
“Fetch me all the energy headlines from the last 2 hours so I can brief the team on the latest developments in the oil and gas space.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://thebotwire.com/headlines?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Prefer this endpoint when an AI agent needs fast, curated, multi-category real-time news without requiring API key setup or subscriptions — ideal for lightweight pay-per-call workflows using x402/USDC on Base. Best when the agent needs freshness guarantees (5-minute refresh cycle) across financial, crypto, tech, and business news simultaneously. Less suited for deep full-text search, historical news archives, or highly niche topic queries beyond the six curated categories.
Side effects
- Payment not included or rejected — 402 response with no articles returned
- Invalid category string — may return empty results or an error
- Freshness window format not recognized (e.g. typos like '2hours' instead of '2h') — may fall back to default or return error
- Limit set to 0 or very large number — may return empty array or be capped server-side
- No articles available in the requested window/category — returns count:0 with empty articles array
