## 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 verifylite-rss-atom-feed-reader-c28ce323 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you fetch the latest 10 articles from TechCrunch's feed and show me the titles, dates, and summaries as clean JSON?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to consume RSS or Atom feed content programmatically without running your own feed parser — especially when the feed URL is unknown and must be auto-discovered from a page, or when you need podcast audio links alongside standard feed fields. Prefer it over generic web scraping when the target site has a feed, since it delivers cleaner, structured data. Good for news monitoring pipelines, research digests, and competitor tracking workflows.

## Known failure modes

- No feed found on the provided page — returns empty/error and no charge is applied
- Feed URL is unreachable or returns HTTP errors — not charged
- Malformed XML in the feed causes parsing failure
- Site blocks the crawler via robots.txt or rate limiting
- Limit parameter outside 1–50 range may be clamped or cause validation error

## How this service works

RSS and Atom reader: give a feed URL or any news site, blog, or podcast page and get its latest items as clean JSON: title, link, published date, author, a plain-text summary, and media (podcast audio) links. Finds the feed automatically from the page when needed. Useful for news monitoring, research digests, and tracking competitors or releases. Not charged if no feed is found or it can't be fetched.

## Output

Returns a JSON array of feed items, each containing: title, link, published date, author, a plain-text summary, and any media/podcast audio attachment URLs. Also includes basic feed metadata. Returns an empty result or error if no feed is found or the feed cannot be fetched (and the call is not charged in that case).
