## How to call it through Zero

```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, curated fantasy sports player news, rankings, and start/sit advice aggregated from trusted sources like PFF and RotoBaller. It is especially well-suited for fantasy-assistant agents making weekly lineup decisions or DFS optimizers needing fresh player intelligence. Prefer it over general sports news endpoints when the use case is specifically fantasy-relevant analysis rather than raw box scores or game results.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if freshness window is too narrow and no recent articles exist
- Invalid 'src' enum value returns an error or empty response
- Limit exceeding 50 is rejected by the schema
- Payment not processed (x402 payment required before response is returned)
- Query terms too vague may return irrelevant player news
