Example prompt: Pull the latest science news from Nature and Phys.org from the past 24 hours — I want up to 20 results on biology and medicine topics.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need fresh, peer-reviewed science news specifically from authoritative sources (Nature, Science, Phys.org) rather than general web news. Ideal for research agents, academic monitoring bots, or science-focused briefing pipelines where source credibility matters. Prefer over general news endpoints when the domain is strictly physics, biology, or medicine.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for narrow query/source/freshness combination — returns empty list
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '1week' instead of '7d') — may return error or default behavior
- Invalid 'src' enum value — schema validation error
- Limit out of range (>50 or <1) — validation error
- Upstream source temporarily unavailable — may return partial results

## How this service works
