```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need live, current web news and HackerNews community discussions about a topic with clean, token-efficient output suitable for AI context windows. Prefer it over general web scraping when you want pre-filtered, ad-free results from high-signal tech news sources without parsing overhead. Especially useful when grounding agent responses in real-time information or monitoring breaking technology stories.

## Known failure modes

- Empty query string returns validation error
- Overly broad or ambiguous queries may return low-relevance results
- Upstream Google News RSS or HackerNews Algolia outages may cause empty or degraded results
- Payment failure (x402) may block the response before a result is returned
- Rate limiting may occur for high-frequency query patterns
