## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, near-real-time intelligence on US state film incentive programs — specifically award rounds and allocation announcements — filtered by state. It is purpose-built for the entertainment finance and production industry, sourcing from official government and commission channels rather than general news aggregators. Prefer it over generic news APIs when you need state-tagged, film-incentive-specific structured items ready for downstream agent workflows.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid state code in ?states= parameter returns an error or empty result
- Requesting limit above 100 is rejected by schema validation
- Service may return stale data if the 30-minute refresh cycle is behind
- Empty result set if no new incentive items have been published recently for the filtered states
- Network or payment (x402) failure if the $0.005 USDC micropayment is not properly handled

## How this service works

Skim Signal: film incentives — new state film-incentive award rounds and allocations across California, New York, Georgia, New Mexico, and Texas as structured items: official California Film Commission and Texas Governor announcements plus incentive-focused press coverage per state, tagged with the state they cover. Optional ?states= filter. Refreshed on a 30-minute cycle.

## Output

A newest-first list of structured news items covering film incentive award rounds and allocations, each tagged with the relevant US state (CA, NY, GA, NM, or TX). Items draw from official sources like the California Film Commission and Texas Governor's office, plus incentive-focused press coverage, and reflect data refreshed on a 30-minute cycle.
