Example prompt: Pull the latest rail industry news from thebotwire — filter to railfreight sources, give me up to 20 articles from the last 24 hours, and flag anything about rolling stock orders or intermodal infrastructure.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need current rail-industry-specific news — freight rail, rolling stock, intermodal, or rail infrastructure — rather than general logistics or transportation news. It is preferable over a general news search when the agent needs curated, domain-specific rail coverage with source filtering (railfreight vs railtech). Use it for monitoring industry signals, competitive intelligence on rail manufacturers, or tracking infrastructure policy changes in the rail sector.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if freshness window is too narrow or query terms are too specific
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '1week' instead of '7d') may return an error or default behavior
- Invalid 'src' enum value returns a validation error
- limit exceeding 50 returns an error; limit below 1 invalid
- Empty feed if underlying sources have no recent content matching the query
