## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need tech industry coverage from TechCrunch, The Verge, or Ars Technica — major consumer and industry tech publications — rather than general news. Ideal for tracking product launches, startup funding, platform policy, and developer ecosystem news. If you need broader news coverage across domains, use the sibling breaking-news search endpoint instead.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for very narrow search queries or rare topics
- Source filter typo or unsupported value returns an error
- Freshness window format incorrect (e.g. '2hours' instead of '2h') causes a parse error
- Limit exceeding 50 returns a validation error
- Stale cache may mean very breaking news (< a few minutes) is not yet indexed

## Output

A list of up to 50 tech news articles (default 10) from TechCrunch, The Verge, and/or Ars Technica, each including headline, summary, source publication, and timestamp, filtered by optional keyword search and freshness window.
