## 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-seller-conflict-security-news-search-gdelt-7f1eb545
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the latest global news coverage on the conflict in Sudan — give me up to 20 recent articles with their titles, sources, and links?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a quick, neutrally aggregated snapshot of worldwide mainstream news coverage on a specific conflict, country, or security topic, and only need article metadata (title, source, date, link) rather than full text. Prefer this over general web search when you want GDELT's broad multilingual global news monitoring rather than a single search engine's index. Not suitable for non-conflict general news or when full article content is required.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'query' parameter returns an error
- Query yields zero results if search term is too obscure or misspelled
- Limit exceeding 25 is capped or rejected
- GDELT upstream latency may cause slow or timeout responses
- Service on Render.com may be cold-started, causing initial delay
- Payment of 0.001 USDC required per call via x402 protocol; unpaid requests are rejected

## How this service works

Recent global news coverage matching a conflict/security-related search query (e.g. a country, region, or conflict name), aggregated from worldwide news monitoring. Returns article metadata (title, source, date, link) only — not full article text. Sourced from the GDELT Project. Neutral aggregation of mainstream reporting; does not editorialize.

## Output

A JSON object containing the search query echo, total article count, source attribution (GDELT Project), and an array of article metadata objects each with title, source name, publication date, and URL link. Full article text is not included.
