## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need quick, keyword-filtered access to TechCrunch news headlines and excerpts without an API key, particularly for monitoring tech industry news, startup coverage, or tracking how specific companies or topics are covered in tech media. Prefer this over general web search when you specifically want TechCrunch content in a structured, machine-readable format.

## Known failure modes

- No articles match the keyword query — returns empty result set
- Query exceeds 200 characters — may be rejected or truncated
- Limit parameter outside 1-30 range — may default to 10 or return an error
- TechCrunch RSS feed temporarily unavailable — endpoint may return an error or stale data
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in quick succession

## How this service works

TechCrunch latest articles from its public RSS feed (keyword filter on title/summary/tags). Headlines and excerpts only. Public feed, no key.

## Output

Returns a list of TechCrunch article objects, each containing the headline, a short excerpt or summary, publication date, and article URL, filtered to those matching the keyword query if provided. Up to 30 items can be returned per call.
