## 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-orthogonal-com-financial-news-05478098
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the 10 most recent news articles about Tesla — use the ticker TSLA — so I can see what's been happening with the stock?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need recent news articles tied to a specific publicly traded company by ticker, or when you want a general market news feed. Prefer this over social media or broader web-search endpoints when the user wants curated financial news with structured metadata (headlines, dates, sources) relevant to equities research or monitoring.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid ticker symbol returns no results or an error
- Limit exceeding 10 results ignored or capped by the API
- Invalid pagination cursor causes a bad request error
- Payment failure (HTTP 402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in rapid succession

## How this service works

Get recent news articles for a specific company or the broad market. Pass a ticker for company-specific news, or omit the ticker for general market news.

## Output

Returns a list of recent news articles, each containing metadata such as headline, publication date, source URL, and company references. Supports pagination via a cursor returned in `next_page_url` for retrieving additional results beyond the initial set.
