## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://thebotwire.com/semiconductors/latest
- Price: $0.005/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown
- Last checked: 2026-09-13
- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/thebotwire-semiconductor-industry-news-feed-a21f04e9

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-semiconductor-industry-news-feed-a21f04e9
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest semiconductor news from SemiEngineering and EE Times from the past 2 hours — I want to see up to 20 stories on fab capacity and export controls.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs real-time or recent semiconductor-specific industry intelligence from authoritative trade publications — covering fabs, EDA, packaging, equipment spend, and export controls. Prefer this over general news endpoints when the user's query is specifically about the chip industry, hardware supply chains, or semiconductor equipment vendors rather than broad technology or financial news.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for specified search terms or freshness window returns empty list
- Invalid `since` format (e.g. unsupported time unit) returns error
- Invalid `src` enum value outside allowed sources returns validation error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol blocks access
- Rate limiting if too many requests in quick succession

## How this service works
