## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when an agent needs current book publishing trade intelligence — deals, rights, imprint activity, or literary criticism — specifically from Publishing Perspectives or Book Riot. Prefer over general news endpoints when the domain is explicitly book publishing, literary agenting, or rights scouting rather than broader entertainment or media.

- Invalid src enum value returns an error
