## 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-wargaming-news-feed-bf623f47
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest Warhammer and miniature wargaming news from the past 24 hours — especially any points changes or rules updates — limit to 20 results from Goonhammer.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need curated, wargaming-specific news from trusted hobby sources (Bell of Lost Souls, Goonhammer) rather than general gaming news. Ideal for list-building tools, competitive meta trackers, or hobby agents that need structured rules-change and release data without scraping multiple sites manually.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for a very specific or obscure search query — returns empty array
- Source filter mismatch if an unsupported src value is provided — schema validation error
- Freshness window too narrow (e.g. 5m) returning zero results during off-peak hours
- Rate limiting or payment failure if x402 payment is not processed correctly

## How this service works

Warhammer and miniature wargaming: releases, rules updates, points changes. Warhammer fandom is famously high-spend and obsessive about points/rules updates; list-building tools would consume rules-change news

## Output

A list of up to 50 wargaming news items (default 10), each containing the article title, source (belloflostsoul or goonhammer), publication timestamp, summary or excerpt, and a link to the full article. Results are sorted by recency and can be filtered by source and freshness window.
