## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need pre-processed, market-impact-scored crypto news without building your own scraping or deduplication pipeline. It is ideal for trading agents, portfolio dashboards, or market analysis workflows that need current events contextualized with analyst verdicts on a four-times-daily cadence. Prefer it over raw RSS or news APIs when you want structured impact scoring rather than raw headlines.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid 'as_of' date format returns a 400 error
- Requesting a date with no available snapshot returns a 404 or empty result
- Payment failure or missing x402 payment header returns a 402 response
- Unsupported 'include' section values may be ignored or return an error
- Rate limiting or upstream data unavailability may cause a 503

## How this service works

Feed current events into market analysis or a trading agent without scraping feeds. Refreshed four times a day.
