## 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-middle-east-news-digest-c87d47ee
```

Example prompt: Give me the latest Middle East news digest — top headlines on geopolitics, energy, and conflicts from the past couple of hours.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need curated Middle East regional news covering geopolitics, energy, and conflicts. Prefer it over the World News Digest when Middle East focus is required, and over the US, EU, Russia, or Asia digests when the subject matter is the Arab world, Gulf states, Iran, Israel, or surrounding region. Best suited for agents that need a ready-made digest rather than raw search results.

## Known failure modes

- Stale data if called immediately after a major breaking event not yet in the 2-hour refresh cycle
- Network or upstream feed failure returning an empty or error response
- Rate limiting or payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient
- No region-specific filtering — returns all Middle East headlines without country-level granularity
