Notes

• The API appends "local news" automatically — don't include it yourself
• Results may include news from nearby areas, not just the exact location
• For best results, pair query with a matching geo code (e.g., query=Munich&geo=DE)

Errors

• 400 — missing query
• 503 — search backend temporarily unavailable
