How this service works
Crime, mystery and thriller publishing plus true crime books. Reading-recommendation agents; true crime is one of the largest content categories in podcasting and publishing alike
Output
A list of articles or items from crime fiction and true crime publishing sources (e.g. CrimeReads), each likely including title, summary, source, publication date, and URL. Results can be filtered by keyword search, source, count limit, and freshness window.
Example use cases
Weekly mystery book roundup for newsletter
“Fetch the 20 most recent crime fiction and mystery articles from thebotwire so I can put together this week's reading roundup — focus on anything from CrimeReads in the last 3 days.”
True crime recommendation agent
“I need the latest true crime book coverage and recommendations from thebotwire, up to 15 results, from the past 48 hours — something I can surface to users who ask for what true crime books are trending right now.”
Monitoring new thriller releases
“Search thebotwire crime fiction feed for anything about new thriller releases or debuts published in the last week, limit to 10 results.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://thebotwire.com/crimefiction/latestWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need curated crime fiction, mystery, thriller, or true crime book and publishing content — especially from CrimeReads. It is narrower and more editorially focused than a general news search, making it ideal for reading-recommendation agents, book-discovery features, or monitoring the true crime publishing space without noise from unrelated domains.
Side effects
- No results returned if freshness window is too narrow and no recent content exists
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '1week' instead of '7d') may cause a parsing error or empty response
- Limit value outside 1–50 range will be rejected
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient or wallet not configured
- Source filter 'crimereads' may return empty set if that source has no recent posts
