## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need timely sports-specific headlines or match results from two well-known authoritative sources (BBC Sport and ESPN). It is preferable to a general news endpoint when the user's query is clearly sports-focused and you want curated sports coverage rather than broad news feeds. Use the 'src' filter to target a specific editorial voice, and 'since' to control freshness for real-time monitoring tasks.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if freshness window is too narrow and no recent articles exist
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '2 hours' instead of '2h') may cause query failure or be ignored
- Source filter set to an unsupported value returns validation error
- Limit exceeding 50 rejected by schema validation
- Upstream BBC Sport or ESPN feeds unavailable causing empty or stale results

## How this service works

Sports headlines and results from BBC Sport and ESPN.

## Output

A list of sports news items drawn from BBC Sport and/or ESPN, each typically including a headline, source attribution, and publication timestamp. Results can be filtered by source (bbc or espn), capped at a specified limit (up to 50), and scoped to a freshness window (e.g. 30m, 2h, 24h).
