    search_newsSearch news articles using APITube News API with comprehensive filtering. IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR QUERY CONSTRUCTION: 1. DO NOT use dots in parameter names directly in the root object. Use nested objects instead. 2. The system will automatically convert nested objects to dot notation for the API. Example: Use { language: { code: "en" } } instead of { "language.code": "en" }. 3. For multiple values in one parameter, use COMMA separation (e.g., "en,ru,fr" for multiple languages). 4. Integer filters (has_*, is_*) accept ONLY 0 or 1 (e.g., has_image=1, is_duplicate=0). 5. Date format: ISO 8601 (YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ). 6. Sentiment scores range: -1.0 (negative) to 1.0 (positive). 7. Default sorting: published_at DESC (newest first). 8. Unknown parameters are rejected with an error (-32602) instead of being silently ignored — check the spelling against the list below. 9. By default the response returns id, title, href, published_at, description and source.domain. The article body is NOT included — request it explicitly with fl (e.g. fl: "title,href,body"). AVAILABLE PARAMETERS: ### Content Search - title: Search by article title (supports up to 3 keywords with comma separation) IMPORTANT: a title search covers at most a 31-day published_at window. Omit the dates and the last 31 days are searched; pass a range wider than 31 days and the call fails with 400 ER0110. To cover a longer period, make one call per month-sized window. - ignore: { title: "keyword" } - Exclude articles with specific titles ### Languages (60+ supported) - language: { code: "en,ru,fr" } - Filter by language codes (up to 3) - ignore: { language: { code: "fr" } } - Exclude specific languages ### Categories (IPTC taxonomy) - category: { id: "medtop:04000000" } - Filter by category ID (up to 3) - ignore: { category: { id: "315" } } - Exclude categories ### Topics - topic: { id: "crypto_news,climate_change" } - Filter by topic ID (up to 3) - ignore: { topic: { id: "2" }
    suggestResolve a name or prefix to APITube taxonomy IDs so you can use them in the `search_news` tool's filters. The `search_news` tool's most precise filters require IDs you cannot guess: - entity.id — numeric (persons, organizations, locations, brands, events...) - category.id — IPTC slug, e.g. "medtop:04000000" - topic.id — slug - industry.id — numeric Use this tool FIRST to look those IDs up, then pass them into `search_news`. USAGE: - type: which taxonomy to autocomplete — one of "entities", "categories", "topics", "industries". - prefix: the name (or its beginning) to search, e.g. "Tesla", "Elon", "spo". Returns an array of matches; take the `id` of the best match and put it into `search_news`: suggest({ type: "entities", prefix: "Tesla" }) → [{ id: 12345, name: "Tesla, Inc.", ... }] search_news({ entity: { id: "12345" } })
