## 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 x402node-real-time-news-search-b5f9c497
```

Example prompt: What are the latest news headlines and article links about the Federal Reserve interest rate decision today? I need the sources and dates too so I can track the coverage.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time or breaking news results with source attribution and timestamps for a specific topic, keyword, or entity — especially for monitoring, event tracking, or sentiment research tasks where recency matters. Prefer this over static datasets or general web search endpoints when news-specific filtering and publication dates are required.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for niche or obscure topic queries
- Rate limiting or payment failure if USDC payment is not properly attached
- Stale or delayed results if upstream news index has latency
- Malformed query string returns empty or error response
- Topic too broad returns irrelevant or noisy results

## Output
