## 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

```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need curated, medtech-specific news from authoritative industry sources (MedTech Dive, Medical Design & Assembly) rather than general news feeds. Ideal for regulatory intelligence workflows, compliance monitoring, and competitive analysis in the medical device sector. Prefer this over general news APIs when the domain specificity of FDA clearances, 510(k)s, PMA decisions, and device recalls matters.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if query terms don't match recent articles within the specified freshness window
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '1week' instead of '7d') may cause a parameter error
- Requesting limit > 50 will be rejected
- Source enum must be exactly 'medtechdive' or 'medicaldesigna' — other values will fail
- Payment failure (402) if USDC balance is insufficient
