```

Example prompt: Give me the latest US news digest — I want the top headlines from Xynaptic covering American politics, economy, and society right now.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need a curated digest of US-focused news (politics, economy, society) rather than global or regional news. It is ideal for periodic briefings, monitoring US developments, or feeding US news context into downstream workflows. Prefer over the World News Digest when US-only focus is required, and over the EU/Asia/Middle East digests when the user's interest is America specifically.

## Known failure modes

- Stale data if refresh cycle is delayed (up to 2-hour lag)
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient (x402 payment required)
- Empty or partial response if no significant US news events occurred in the last cycle
- Rate limiting or access denial if payment is not properly attached
