Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

balance
check_balance
Free. Show the remaining credit balance for the API key sent in this connection's Authorization header. Call this before a long run of paid requests.
data
fetch_data
Paid. Fetch live data from any Google News endpoint. Pass the endpoint path plus its parameters (path and query parameters together in `params`). Priced per call in USDC on Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, Monad or Solana: pay with x402, or send an Authorization: Bearer bby_live_... header to spend prepaid credits. Call describe_endpoint first if unsure about parameters.
describe
describe_endpoint
Free. Show the full call signature for one endpoint: required and optional parameters, allowed values, price, and response shape.
endpoints
search_endpoints
Free. Search fetcher.sh's Google News endpoints by keyword. Returns paths, descriptions and per-call prices. Start here.
google
google_news_search
Paid ($0.005). Search — Google News. Live data as JSON. Pay with x402 or an Authorization: Bearer bby_live_... credits key.
topup
topup_credits
Paid (the amount you choose, minimum $1). Buy prepaid credits with x402 so later calls skip the per-call payment round trip. With an Authorization: Bearer bby_live_... header on this connection it recharges that key. Without one, the paying wallet becomes the account and a new API key is minted and returned once — store it as a secret, it cannot be recovered.
