## 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-theatre-news-feed-21ab8396
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest Broadway and West End theatre news from Playbill and New York Theater for the past 24 hours — I need to catch any closing notices or casting announcements before they break in the mainstream press.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need theatre-specific news — Broadway, West End, or regional — with a focus on time-sensitive intelligence like closing notices, casting changes, and box office grosses. It curates sources specifically for the theatre industry (Playbill, BroadwayNews, American Theatre, New York Theater), making it more targeted than a general breaking-news endpoint. Prefer it over general entertainment news feeds when the use case is ticketing, concierge bots, or theatre industry monitoring where closing and casting news needs to arrive before mainstream press coverage.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if the freshness window (e.g. '30m') is too narrow and no articles have been published in that period
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. malformed duration string) may produce an error or empty response
- Filtering by an unsupported source value outside the allowed enum will fail schema validation
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Source sites temporarily unavailable may result in fewer results than requested

## How this service works

Broadway, West End, regional theatre: openings, closings, casting, grosses. Ticketing/resale agents and NYC concierge bots that need closing-notice and casting news before it hits general press

## Output

A list of theatre news items (up to the requested limit, default 10) drawn from sources like Playbill, BroadwayNews, American Theatre, and New York Theater. Each item typically includes a headline, source, publication timestamp, summary or excerpt, and a link to the full article. Results can be filtered by source and freshness window.
