q, limit, before, after, host, domain, rank, raw_text

Guidance

Default ranking is BM25 relevance (verified live 2026-07-28). Pass rank=recency for newest-first ordering (score then becomes the crawl-date epoch); other rank values silently fall back to bm25. Query terms are ANDed (all must appear); use fewer, more distinctive terms. Narrow with before/after (ISO dates, e.g. before=2020-01-01), host (reuters.com) or domain. Filters combine with either ranking mode. text is the full article. Prefer a bigger limit over deep offsets.
