## 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

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time or recent hip-hop news specifically — releases, beefs, charts, and culture — especially for social media content generation or entertainment monitoring. Prefer it over general breaking-news endpoints when the focus is squarely on hip-hop or rap culture. Use the source filter to target specific outlets (The Source, Hip-Hop Wired, SoulBounce) and the freshness window to scope recency precisely.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for narrow search query or freshness window
- Invalid 'since' format causing parameter rejection
- Source filter enum mismatch if unsupported source string is passed
- Rate limit or payment failure due to x402 protocol issues
- Empty feed if upstream sources have no recent content
