## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need timely, curated Japanese gaming news specifically from Gematsu and Siliconera — the two most respected English-language Japanese gaming news sources. Prefer this over the general gaming news endpoint (GameSpot/IGN) when your user cares about JRPGs, Japanese publisher announcements, Famitsu-derived stories, or import gaming. Ideal for agents serving JRPG enthusiasts, gaming newsletter automation, or competitive intelligence on Japanese game releases.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if the query term matches nothing within the freshness window
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. malformed duration string) may cause a bad request error
- Invalid 'src' enum value (anything other than 'gematsu' or 'siliconera') will be rejected
- Limit exceeding 50 or below 1 will fail schema validation
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC may result in 402 response

## How this service works

Japanese games: JRPG, Japanese publisher announcements, Famitsu-derived news. Import/JRPG fandom , a distinctly separate, very dedicated audience from general gaming news, and one that reads announcements the same day they break

## Output

A list of news items (up to the requested limit, default 10) from Japanese gaming sources such as Gematsu and Siliconera, each likely containing headline, summary, source, and publication timestamp. Results reflect the freshness window if specified, and can be filtered by source or keyword query.
