## 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-testing-browser-automation-news-feed-40d99806
```

Example prompt: What's the latest news on browser automation and test frameworks from the past 24 hours? Show me up to 20 results filtered to the github source.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need focused, real-time news specifically about software testing tools, browser automation frameworks (Playwright, Selenium, Cypress), QA vendors, or CI/CD platforms. It is preferable over general tech news feeds when the agent's task is narrowly scoped to the testing/QA/devtools domain and freshness is important. Use the sibling breaking-news endpoint for broader tech news.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if search query matches nothing in the index
- Stale results if freshness window is too narrow and no recent items exist
- Invalid enum value for src parameter returns an error
- limit out of 1-50 range causes validation failure
- since parameter with unrecognized format (e.g. '1w') may be rejected or ignored

## How this service works

Test frameworks and browser automation. QA-tooling vendors and CI providers. Thin , consider folding into devtools rather than shipping standalone

## Output

A list of news items covering test frameworks, browser automation, QA tooling vendors, and CI/CD providers — each item likely containing a title, source, publication timestamp, URL, and summary snippet, filtered and ranked by recency.
