## 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-hvac-mechanical-industry-news-feed-cbc7953d
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest HVAC and mechanical contracting news from thebotwire — limit to 15 results from the past 24 hours, filtered to the hpac source, and flag anything about refrigerant regulations or heat pump incentives.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time or recent trade news specifically from HVAC, mechanical contracting, refrigerant, or heat pump domains. Prefer it over general news APIs when the user is an HVAC contractor, manufacturer, distributor, home-services agent, or policy researcher focused on building systems. Use the 'src' filter to narrow to contractor business (contractingbus) or engineering/specification trade press (hpac).

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if query terms are too narrow or no fresh content matches the freshness window
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '1week' instead of '7d') may return an error or be ignored
- Source enum must be exactly 'contractingbus' or 'hpac'; other values rejected
- Limit exceeding 50 returns an error; limit below 1 returns an error
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient

## How this service works
