## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need franchising-specific industry news — franchise development, FDD filings, multi-unit operator activity, or franchise broker intelligence. It curates from specialist franchise trade publications (FranchiseWire, FranchiseChatt) rather than general business news sources, making it more precise for franchise-domain agents than a general news endpoint. Prefer it over the broader TheBotWire breaking news endpoint when the user's need is specifically franchise or small-business acquisition focused.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for the given search query or time window — returns empty list
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. typo like '24hours' instead of '24h') may cause parse error
- Exceeding limit maximum of 50 returns validation error
- Invalid 'src' enum value causes rejection
- Upstream news source unavailable causes partial or empty response
