## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an AI agent needs structured, machine-readable news headlines for a specific topic on a pay-per-call basis without committing to a subscription. Useful for lightweight, on-demand news lookups inside agent workflows where billing is handled via USDC micropayments (x402 protocol).

## Known failure modes

- Empty headlines array if no news matches the query
- HTTP 402 if USDC payment is not provided or insufficient
- Malformed or missing query parameter returns an error
- Stale or limited results if underlying news sources have gaps
- Network timeout if upstream news aggregation is slow

## How this service works

Pay-per-call JSON for AI agents: skill search, listing optimization, install plans, productization, and artifact risk scoring. HTTP 402 → USDC. Full skill marketplace on-site.

## Output
