## How to call it through Zero

Example prompt: Pull the latest maritime news from gCaptain and Splash247 from the past 24 hours — I want to see anything about vessel casualties or port congestion, up to 15 results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time or recent maritime-specific intelligence from trusted industry sources like gCaptain, Splash247, MaritimeExecutive, or OffshoreEnergy. It is purpose-built for shipowners, charterers, marine insurers, and commodity/logistics agents who need vessel casualty updates, port congestion signals, charter market movements, and offshore news — not general shipping logistics operations data. Prefer it over general news APIs when maritime domain specificity and source curation matter.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if freshness window is too narrow or query terms match nothing in recent index
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. malformed duration string) may cause a 400 error
- Invalid 'src' enum value returns an error
- Limit values outside 1-50 range are rejected
- Transient upstream unavailability from source sites may reduce result count
