## 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 x402-content-hub-top-headlines-news-ea3debf4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: What are the top headlines in technology news in the US right now?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time top news headlines filtered by country or category and are operating in a crypto-native or x402-payment-enabled environment. Prefer this over generic news APIs when you need micropayment-based access (USDC on Base) without API key management.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid country code returns empty or error result
- Invalid category string returns no results
- Payment failure via x402/USDC blocks the request entirely
- Rate limiting if too many calls made in succession
- Upstream news API outage causes 502 or empty data response
