## 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-rugby-union-news-feed-0ea3cbdf
```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need rugby union-specific news from a curated set of high-quality UK/Ireland/SA/ANZ outlets. It is preferable to a general news search when the task requires sport-specific coverage (internationals, Six Nations, URC, Premiership) or when filtering by a specific rugby publisher. Ideal for betting agents needing timely injury/team news, media aggregators building rugby digests, and monitoring agents watching tournament developments.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not included or insufficient — 402 Payment Required with x402 challenge
- Invalid source filter value outside allowed enum (bbci, theguardian, planetrugby, ruck) — likely 400 validation error
- Limit parameter out of range (must be 1–50) — 400 validation error
- Invalid freshness window format for `since` parameter — may return error or default behavior
- No matching articles for a narrow query/freshness combination — empty results array
