Use the News API when
- You need an answer inside a user request or an agent step.
- The top articles are enough: you do not need every match.
- You want to show headlines, summaries and stories in your product.
Use an agent run when
- You need a list, for example every product recall announced this month, and each row should be checked against its sources.
- You need the news about each company in a list.
- You want a CSV or Excel file of the result.
Use a monitor when
- You ran the research once and want what is new every hour, day or week.
- You follow a portfolio, a watchlist or a set of accounts.
