How this service works
Breaking news search across 40 curated world, business, markets, technology, crypto and energy sources. Ask what just happened on any topic and get ranked headlines newer than any model's training cutoff, each with its publisher, publication timestamp and link.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a count of matched articles, the original query, the freshness window applied, response time in milliseconds, and an array of articles each containing title, URL, source name, plain-text summary, category, publication timestamp, relevance score, and age in minutes. Also includes a 'freshest' field indicating the most recently published article timestamp.
Example use cases
Crypto briefing for a trading bot
“Pull the most recent Bitcoin and Ethereum headlines from the last 30 minutes — up to 10 articles — so I can see what's moving the market right now.”
AI industry morning digest
“Search for AI and tech news from the past 24 hours, limit to 5 results, so I can get a quick morning briefing on what happened overnight in the industry.”
Energy sector monitoring
“Find me the latest energy market news from the past 2 hours — things like oil prices, natural gas, or renewable energy developments — give me up to 8 stories.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://thebotwire.com/news?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs fast, current news on financial markets, crypto, tech, business, world events, or energy — especially when freshness matters (articles updated every 5 minutes). Ideal for agents that need no API key setup and can pay per-call via x402 USDC micropayments on Base. Prefer this over general web search when you want structured, pre-summarized, categorized news articles with relevance scores rather than raw web results.
Side effects
- Missing required 'q' parameter returns a 400-level error
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. non-standard duration string) may return no results or an error
- Payment failure via x402 results in a 402 Payment Required response blocking the request
- Very narrow queries or obscure topics may return zero articles (count: 0)
- Category filter typo or unsupported category value may yield empty results
