## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need official UK government news and communications from GOV.UK — policy announcements, department press releases, guidance updates, and legislative communications. Prefer it over general news endpoints when the source must be authoritative and government-official, or when compliance or policy agents need to track UK regulatory developments rather than media coverage of them.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if query terms match no recent GOV.UK content
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. unsupported units) may return an error or be ignored
- Limit exceeding 50 will fail schema validation
- GOV.UK upstream unavailability may result in stale or empty response
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance insufficient
