## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need current news and updates specifically from home improvement, hardware retail, kitchen/bath, or building products industry sources. It is ideal for building-products manufacturer agents, hardware co-op market research, or home renovation planning agents that need structured, curated industry news rather than general web search results. Prefer this over general news endpoints when the domain is specifically home improvement or building products.
