## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need current toy industry news specifically around action figure reveals, licensing deals, and retail preorder windows. It aggregates niche toy-trade and collector-focused publications not covered by general news APIs. Prefer it over generic news search when the domain is specifically toys, collectibles, or toy retail trade.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned when freshness window is too narrow and no recent articles exist
- Invalid enum value for src parameter returns an error
- limit exceeding maximum of 50 is rejected
- Malformed since parameter (e.g. wrong format) may return an error or be ignored
- Payment failure (402) if x402 payment is not properly submitted
