## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need curated startup funding news specifically oriented toward software builders and developers, rather than general business or finance news. It is ideal when you want quick discovery of recent venture rounds, acquisitions, or accelerator activity in the software ecosystem with direct publisher links for follow-up reading.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for a highly specific query — try broadening the search query
- max_results out of range (must be 1–10) returns a validation error
- Network or upstream news source unavailability may return empty or error response
- Payment failure (x402) blocks the call before any results are returned
