Endpoint
GEThttps://latest-news-api.latest-news.workers.dev/v1/articles/%7Bid%7DWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you have a specific article ID and need to retrieve structured, AI-optimized news content from open-government sources (NASA, federal agencies) with proper attribution and licensing metadata included. It is ideal for AI agent pipelines that need citable, public-domain news summaries without scraping. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured JSON with category tags, publish timestamps, and license notes in a single call.

- Missing or invalid x402 payment header results in a 402 Payment Required response before content is served
- Malformed ID format may return a validation error
