X-PAYMENT: <signed-transferWithAuthorization>

402 Payment Required. Sign USDCtransferWithAuthorization, retry with theX-PAYMENT header.DESCRIPTION
News-with-full-text API: send a topic and get back recent news articles with each article's cleaned page text already attached, instead of a headline list you have to fetch yourself. Composite: one call runs news-search, then scrapes and cleans the top articles' page text in parallel, capped at 4,000 characters per article. news-search is required; each article fetch is an independent optional leg, so a slow or blocked page returns content: null with a note on that one article instead of failing the whole call. Use it as a news API with article content, a news-and-extract tool, or a recent-news fetch for agents that need article text, not just headlines.
