Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00126 | $0.01499 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00063 | $0.00749 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00025 | $0.00300 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00150 |
Grade A, and why
google-news scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \ How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 164 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Google News API
Google News headlines and search as clean JSON — one plain HTTP GET per call, paid as you go. No RSS feed scraping, no redirect-URL decoding by hand, no undocumented internal endpoints.
Base URL: https://google-news.fetcher.sh
Authentication
Two ways to pay, same data — full mechanics in the fetcher
skill:
# 1. Prepaid credits (recommended — get a key at https://fetcher.sh/topup
# or via POST /api/credits/topup, see the fetcher skill)
export FETCHER_API_KEY="bby_live_xxxxxxxxxxxx"
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $FETCHER_API_KEY" \
"https://google-news.fetcher.sh/api/search?keyword=hello&languageCode=en-US"
# 2. x402 pay-per-call — omit the header; a GET with no payment returns 402
# with machine-readable payment requirements (USDC on Base, Polygon,
# Arbitrum, Monad, or Solana). @x402/fetch signs and retries automatically.
Every response is { "status": number, "message": string, "data": ... }; the
HTTP status mirrors status.
Endpoints (12 — all GET, $0.005/call)
| Endpoint | What it returns |
|---|---|
/api/search |
Headlines matching a keyword, in one language edition |
/api/latest |
Latest headlines |
/api/world |
World section headlines |
/api/business |
Business section headlines |
/api/technology |
Technology section headlines |
/api/entertainment |
Entertainment section headlines |
/api/sport |
Sport section headlines |
/api/science |
Science section headlines |
/api/health |
Health section headlines |
/api/topic/{topicId} |
Headlines for an arbitrary topic ID |
/api/language-regions |
Every supported languageCode value |
/api/decode-article-url |
Resolves a Google News redirect URL to the real article URL |
languageCode (e.g. en-US, en-GB, fr-FR) is required on every
endpoint except /api/language-regions, which takes no parameters at all
and exists specifically to list the valid values. keyword is additionally
required on /api/search; url is required on /api/decode-article-url.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

google-news is a skill published in the GitHub repository fetcher-sh/fetcher-skills (1 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 126 tokens to every session and 1,499 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-01.
