## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time or recent news specifically from the plastics and rubber industry vertical — covering resin pricing, recycling mandates, packaging compliance, processor M&A, or machinery. Prefer this over general news search endpoints when the query is domain-specific to plastics/rubber manufacturing, and when sourcing from trade publications like PlasticsToday or PlasticsEngine is important for credibility.
