## 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-hub-crypto-news-endpoint-51-a6823d8b -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Search for the latest crypto news about Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solutions and give me what you find.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, pay-per-use access to cryptocurrency news without a subscription, especially when operating in an x402-enabled agent context on Base and requiring search-driven news retrieval rather than a fixed feed.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not fulfilled — 402 response if x402 micropayment is not sent
- Empty or vague query returns irrelevant or no results
- Upstream news API unavailable causing error in data field
- Malformed request body missing required query field returns 400
