Example prompt: Pull the latest games-business news from thebotwire — layoffs, funding, and studio closures from the past 24 hours, up to 20 results, from gamesindustry source.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need games-business-specific intelligence — layoffs, funding, and studio economics — filtered from dedicated trade publications like GamesIndustry.biz, GameDeveloper, and PocketGamer. Prefer this over a general news endpoint when your agent is specifically tracking the games sector's business side rather than game releases or reviews. The source filtering and freshness window make it well-suited for recurring monitoring workflows and automated briefings.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if freshness window is too narrow and no new articles exist
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '1week' instead of '7d') may produce an error or empty response
- Invalid 'src' enum value returns an error
- Limit exceeding 50 is rejected by schema validation
- Upstream source unavailability may result in partial or empty result sets

## How this service works

Games business: layoffs, funding, studio closures, platform economics. Recruiters, VC/deal-sourcing agents, and market-intel bots tracking the games sector

## Output

A list of news items from games-industry trade publications (e.g. GamesIndustry.biz, GameDeveloper, PocketGamer) covering layoffs, studio funding, closures, and platform economics — each item typically includes a headline, source, publication date, and summary or link.
