It is purpose-built for AFL and sourced from curated AFL-specific outlets, making it more targeted than a general news search endpoint. Prefer it over general sports news endpoints when the user's query is specifically about AFL or Australian Rules Football.

- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '1week' instead of '7d') may cause empty or error response
