## 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-tcg-latest-news-b9bdb1d2
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest MTG ban and errata announcements from MTGAZone from the last 2 hours — up to 10 results — so I can see if anything dropped that would move card prices.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time or recent TCG news specifically from MTGAZone or YGOrganization, especially for ban/errata announcements that move secondary market prices. Prefer it over generic news endpoints when you need TCG-specific signal with freshness filtering and source control. Ideal for card price agents, deck-building assistants, or any workflow that needs to react quickly to official TCG policy changes.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if freshness window is too narrow and no new content exists
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '1week' instead of '7d') may return an error
- Unsupported 'src' enum value causes validation failure
- Limit exceeding maximum of 50 returns error
- Network latency or upstream source downtime may return empty or partial results

## How this service works

Trading card games: Magic, Pokémon TCG, Yu-Gi-Oh , bans, spoilers, set releases. Card-price and singles-trading agents. Ban/errata announcements move real secondary-market prices within minutes, which makes latency genuinely worth

## Output

Returns a list of TCG news items from curated sources (MTGAZone, YGOrganization), each including title, source, timestamp, and content summary. Items cover ban announcements, card spoilers, errata updates, and set releases relevant to Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh secondary markets.
