## 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-geek-culture-fandom-news-feed-cabf57c7
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest geek culture and superhero news from Screen Rant and Den of Geek from the past 2 hours — up to 15 articles — so I can see what's breaking in franchise and fandom news.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need real-time or recent fandom, superhero, and franchise entertainment news specifically from curated geek-culture outlets (The Mary Sue, Den of Geek, Screen Rant, Collider). Prefer this over general breaking-news endpoints when the user's intent is specifically genre entertainment, comic book films, or fandom coverage rather than mainstream entertainment industry trade news (deals, box office, casting) or gaming news.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if the freshness window is too narrow and no articles were published in that period
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '2days' instead of '2d') may cause a 400 error
- Requesting limit above 50 returns an error — maximum is 50
- Unknown source values outside the allowed enum produce a validation error
- Payment failure (402) if the x402 payment header is missing or insufficient
