## 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 xynaptic-asia-news-digest-7884de9c
```

Example prompt: Give me the latest Asia news digest — top headlines from China, Japan, India, Korea, and ASEAN as of right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a broad, multi-country Asia regional news digest covering China, Japan, India, Korea, and ASEAN in a single call. Prefer it over the World News Digest when the user specifically wants Asia-focused coverage, and over country-specific sources when cross-regional awareness is needed. It is ideal for briefings, monitoring, and research workflows that require regular Asia news updates without building custom scrapers.

## Known failure modes

- Payment required (402) if x402 payment header is missing or invalid
- Stale content if digest has not yet refreshed within the 2-hour cycle
- Empty or partial digest if no major stories are available for a sub-region
- Rate limiting or access denial if quota is exceeded
