## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs structured, curated art market intelligence from two of the most authoritative art journalism sources (ARTnews and Artnet News). It is preferable over a general web search when the user specifically wants art auction, gallery, museum, artist representation, provenance, or restitution coverage — and when source reliability and recency filtering matter. Its freshness window parameter makes it ideal for real-time art market monitoring workflows.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if query terms match nothing in the indexed sources
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '1week' instead of '7d') may cause a 400 error
- Specifying an invalid 'src' value outside the enum returns an error
- Exceeding the limit of 50 may result in a validation error
- Service may return stale or empty results if upstream sources haven't published recently
