## 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-embedded-electronics-news-feed-832990cd
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest 15 embedded electronics and maker news items from Hackaday posted in the last 24 hours — I want to see what new hardware projects and tutorials dropped recently.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time or recent maker, hobbyist, and embedded electronics news — especially from trusted community sources like Hackaday and Raspberry Pi. It is specifically designed for the enthusiast electronics vertical, making it more focused and relevant than a general news search API for this domain. Prefer it when the agent needs to surface project ideas, component news, or DIY tutorials rather than mainstream tech news.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for the given search query or freshness window — returns empty list
- Invalid 'src' enum value causes a 400 error
- 'since' parameter with malformed duration string (e.g. '2 days' instead of '2d') may fail or be ignored
- Payment of 0.005 USDC not fulfilled results in 402 response
- Upstream source (e.g. Hackaday) temporarily unavailable may reduce or eliminate results for that source

## How this service works

Embedded, maker and hobbyist electronics. Component distributors and maker-market retailers; hobby-project recommendation agents. Enthusiast vertical, commerce-adjacent

## Output

A list of embedded electronics and maker news items, each typically including title, source (e.g. hackaday, raspberrypi, blog), URL, publication timestamp, and a summary or excerpt. Results are ordered by recency and can be filtered by source or freshness window.
