## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need lightweight, pay-as-you-go access to Google News world headlines without managing OAuth, subscriptions, or API keys. It is ideal for agents that need occasional or one-off news fetches billed in micro-USDC amounts. Prefer alternatives like direct RSS feeds or a News API subscription if you need very high volume, strict SLA guarantees, or full article body text.

## Known failure modes

- Google News scraping blocked or rate-limited resulting in empty or error response
- Payment not processed via x402 protocol resulting in 402 Payment Required response
- Invalid or malformed request parameters returning a 400 error
- Google News structure changes breaking the scraper and returning stale or malformed data
- Network timeout if Google News is slow to respond
