## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to retrieve news articles from Google News organized by a specific topic category (e.g. Technology, Business, Health, Sports), and you already have or can determine the Google News topic ID. Prefer this over general web search when you specifically want Google News aggregated content for a known topic, and need agent-friendly access without OAuth or subscriptions, paying only per call in USDC.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unknown topicId returns empty results or 404
- Google News topic IDs can change or be deprecated over time
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 requiring USDC payment
- Google News may occasionally return partial results or be temporarily unavailable
- Topic feeds may have regional variations not reflected in results
