## 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 www-prowldata-dev-97fba961 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What is the global news saying about Nvidia right now — how much coverage is it getting, is the tone positive or negative, and which regions are covering it the most?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to understand media narrative around a specific topic — volume, tone, and geographic reach of coverage. Prefer over social media sentiment tools when you need traditional news sources specifically. Ideal for brand monitoring, event impact analysis, or narrative intelligence tasks.

## Known failure modes

- Topic query too vague — returns low-confidence or empty results
- Rate limit or payment failure — 402 response if USDC payment not attached
- Topic not found in recent coverage — returns zero volume
- Service unavailable — 5xx error if PROWL data pipeline is down
