## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need current video game industry news specifically from GameSpot and/or IGN — two of the most authoritative gaming publications. Prefer it over general news APIs when the user's query is specifically about gaming: game releases, developer announcements, studio news, or gaming industry events. It offers source-level filtering and freshness windowing, making it ideal for monitoring or agent pipelines that need fresh, gaming-specific content on a schedule.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if search query matches nothing in the freshness window
- Invalid 'src' enum value causes request rejection
- 'since' parameter with unrecognized format may return an error or default behavior
- Limit above 50 or below 1 causes validation failure
- Upstream GameSpot or IGN feeds unavailable may cause partial or empty results

## Output

A list of gaming news articles from GameSpot and/or IGN, each containing headline, source, publication date, summary, and article URL. Results are filtered by source, freshness window, and optional search terms, with a configurable limit up to 50 items.
