## 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-gaming-news-latest-multi-source-ffc4eeb5
```

Example prompt: What's the latest video game news from the past 24 hours? Pull up to 20 headlines — deduplicated across IGN, Polygon, and Eurogamer.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need broad video game news coverage aggregated from multiple top-tier sources in a single deduplicated feed. Prefer this over the sibling GameSpot+IGN-only endpoint when you want the widest multi-source view (up to five outlets) or want to filter by Polygon, Eurogamer, or VideoGamesChronicle specifically. Use the optional `q` parameter for topic-specific searches and `since` for freshness-gated queries.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for a highly specific search query or very short freshness window
- Invalid source filter value returns error
- limit out of range (must be 1–50) returns validation error
- Upstream source outage may reduce coverage temporarily
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works

## Output

A deduplicated, ranked list of video game news articles aggregated from major sources (IGN, Polygon, Eurogamer, VideoGamesChronicle), each including headline, source attribution, publication timestamp, and article details. Results are filtered and sorted by freshness and relevance.
