## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need music-industry-specific business intelligence — particularly around catalog acquisitions, label deals, streaming royalty economics, and music rights transactions. It is more specialized than a general news search endpoint, pulling exclusively from Music Business Worldwide for high signal-to-noise in the music business domain. Prefer it over generic news endpoints when the user's query is clearly about music industry finance, publishing rights, or catalog investment.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if query terms don't match recent articles
- Freshness window too narrow (e.g. 30m) may return empty results if no recent publications
- Invalid 'since' format returns an error or empty set
- limit parameter outside 1-50 range causes a validation error
- Source filter 'musicbusinessw' may have delayed ingestion during off-hours

## How this service works

Music business: label deals, catalog sales, streaming economics, royalties. Catalog investors and music-rights agents. Catalog acquisition is an active alternative-asset class with real money moving

## Output

A list of music business news articles from curated sources (Music Business Worldwide), each with headline, summary, source, and publication timestamp, covering label deals, catalog sales, streaming economics, and royalties. Results can be filtered by search query, freshness window, and capped at a specified limit.
