```

Example prompt: Pull the latest college basketball and bracketology news from BustingBracket — give me the 10 most recent items from the last 24 hours so I can see who's trending on the bubble.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need timely, curated college basketball and bracketology news specifically — especially during NCAA tournament season when bracket projections, bubble team updates, and seeding news are critical. It aggregates trusted CBB-specific sources (CBS Sports, Busting Bracket) rather than general sports feeds, making it more signal-dense for March Madness workflows than a general news endpoint. Prefer it over the general breaking news endpoint when your agent is focused on college basketball betting, bracket tools, or tournament tracking.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if query terms match nothing in the freshness window — try broadening the 'since' parameter
- Invalid 'src' enum value returns a validation error — must be one of cbssports, sports, bustingbracket
- Limit exceeding 50 returns a validation error
- Very narrow freshness windows (e.g. 30m) during off-season may return empty results
- Service may return stale data if upstream sources are slow to publish

## How this service works

College basketball, bracketology and tournament news. March Madness bracket tools and college betting agents; the seasonal spike is enormous and narrow

## Output

A list of news articles and updates from curated college basketball sources including headlines, publication timestamps, source attribution, and article URLs. Results can be filtered by source (cbssports, sports, bustingbracket), freshness window, and keyword query, with up to 50 items returned per call.
