## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need animation-industry-specific news from trusted trade publications like Cartoon Brew and AWN. It is narrowly scoped to animation (not general entertainment or film/TV broadly), making it ideal for agents serving animation professionals, studio recruiters, adult animation fans, or anyone monitoring the animation ecosystem specifically. Prefer this over general news endpoints when you need curated animation-sector signal rather than broad entertainment coverage.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for a very narrow search query — returns empty list
- Source filter produces no results if that source has no recent items
- Invalid 'since' freshness window format returns an error
- Limit value out of range (must be 1–50) triggers validation error
- Upstream source unavailability may result in stale or missing data

## How this service works

Animation industry: studio news, series pickups, animation festivals, artist news. Industry professionals and recruiters; also the substantial adult animation fandom

## Output

A list of animation industry news articles with titles, sources (cartoonbrew or awn), publication dates, summaries or excerpts, and URLs, filtered and sorted by recency. Default returns up to 10 items unless a limit is specified.
