How this service works

Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.fadeandco.workers.dev/api/dev/espn-sports?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need quick, structured ESPN headline data for a specific major US sports league without parsing HTML or scraping. It is ideal for news briefings, sports digests, and monitoring recent coverage for NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, WNBA, or college sports. Prefer it over general web search when you want clean, structured article metadata (headline, description, timestamp, link) directly from ESPN's own feed.
Side effects
- Invalid league value returns an error or empty result — must use exact enum values (nfl, nba, mlb, nhl, wnba, college-football, mens-college-basketball)
- Limit out of range (below 1 or above 25) may return a default count or error
- ESPN upstream API unavailable causes fetch failure
- No recent news published results in an empty articles array
