## 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 thebotwire-com-comedy-news-feed-7b366a18
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest standup comedy news from the past 24 hours — up to 20 results — so I can see if any new specials or tour dates have been announced.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs current standup comedy news, tour alerts, or special-release monitoring. It is specifically scoped to comedy entertainment (not general entertainment or music) and supports freshness-windowed queries ideal for periodic monitoring agents. Prefer over general news search when the user's intent is specifically comedy-focused.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if query terms match nothing in the index
- Empty response if 'since' window is too narrow and no items exist in that timeframe
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '1week' instead of '7d') may cause a 400 error
- Limit exceeding 50 will be rejected by schema validation
- Source filter 'comedycake' may return fewer results if that source has low recent activity

## How this service works

## Output
