search_news
Search news articles.
Returns a list of matching articles. Each article includes:
- article_id, classification_id, title, source, date, link, category, rank, total_shares, summary
- bias_values: dict of per-dimension bias scores using plain-text keys (e.g. 'liberal conservative bias'),
same schema as get_bias_from_url and get_all_source_biases (when available)
- bias_analysis_status: 'evidence_ready', 'evidence_unverified', 'evidence_partial',
'scored_legacy', or 'pending'
- evidence_ratio: fraction of scored bias dimensions whose supporting quote is verified
(0.0-1.0). Raise min_evidence to demand only articles with verified quotes.
- bias_dimensions when include_evidence=true: a self-contained object joining each score,
scale, evidence status, claim, evidence, counterevidence, confidence, and rationale.
Quotes include verification method and exact character offsets when raw-text matching succeeds.
Dimension evidence_status is one of: verified, provided_unchecked, quote_mismatch,
metadata_incomplete, metadata_only, or missing.
- bias_analysis: contract/schema/model/prompt provenance, generation and review status,
input scope/hash/size, limitations, quote-verification method, and explicit evidence coverage
- context: AI-generated contextual background for the article (when available)
- implicit_assumptions: tacit or unstated premises the article's claims or framing rely on
(list of concise strings, when available)
- extracted_data: structured quantitative/qualitative facts extracted from the article
- raw_data: legacy serialized form of extracted_data
Args:
query: Optional search keywords. Leave empty to return the most recent articles in
scope (use with bias to rank them). e.g. 'NVDA earnings'.
limit: Max results (1-100, default 20).
source: Filter by source name, e.g. 'CNN', 'Reuters'.
category: Filter by category. One of: 'trending', 'tech', 'markets', 'politics',
'business', 'science', 'memes'.
days_back: Only include articles from the last N days. 0 means no date filter. Default: 720 (2 years).
min_shares: Minimum total social shares.
sort: Sort order. One of: 'rank' (relevance, default), 'date' (newest), 'shares' (most shared).
bias: Optional bias dimension to sort by. Returns the most recent articles ranked highest on that
bias, highest score first. Any canonical bias key, e.g. 'liberal conservative bias',
'overall credibility', 'conspiracy bias'. Works with an empty query for a standalone
'most biased recent articles' listing. Use with only_analyzed if you want.
include_evidence: Include claim-level evidence, counterevidence, confidence, rationale, and limitations.
Defaults to false to keep search payloads compact.
only_analyzed: Return only articles with valid canonical bias scores.
min_evidence: Minimum fraction of scored dimensions with verified quotes (0.0-1.0, default 0).
Raise this to request only articles whose scores are backed by verified evidence,
e.g. 0.5. Returns a 400 if sort or bias is not a valid option.
