How this service works
Pay-per-call data & tool APIs
Output
Returns a JSON object with a meta block (run time in ms, settlement status, item count) and a results array. Each result includes a found flag, a natural-language summary (e.g. '52 layoff mentions in the last 90 days'), a checkedAt timestamp, the original sourceQuery, a mentionCount integer, and a layoffMentions array of individual articles each with a link, title, source name, and pubDate — sorted newest-first.
Example use cases
Sector layoff pulse for investors
“How many layoffs have been reported in the AI industry over the last 90 days? Give me the most recent headlines and a summary of the situation.”
Due diligence on a specific company
“I'm looking at a deal with Stripe — can you check if there have been any layoff news mentions about them recently and pull the latest articles?”
Competitive intelligence for HR teams
“I want to know what's happening with layoffs across the healthcare sector right now — fetch me a count of mentions in the last 90 days and the newest headlines.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.timzinin.com/api/layoff-tracker?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a fast, pay-per-call lookup of recent layoff news aggregated across news sources for a specific company or industry, without maintaining your own news scraping pipeline. Ideal for agent workflows that need to monitor workforce trends on demand rather than on a scheduled basis. Prefer this over general news search APIs when the use case is specifically layoff intelligence with structured output including mention counts and dated article links.
Side effects
- Query returns found:false if no layoff mentions are found for the given term in the 90-day window
- Payment not settled causes request rejection before search executes
- Ambiguous or very short query terms may return unrelated results
- Rate limiting or upstream news source unavailability may increase run_ms or return empty mentions
- Malformed POST body with missing query field returns a 4xx error
