Best Practices

  1. Use appropriate endpoints - Headlines for quick scans, fulltext for analysis
  2. Leverage pagination - Use search_after for large result sets with sort=latest
  3. Filter by language/country - Reduce noise and credits usage
  4. Monitor credits - Track credits.total in responses
  5. Handle rate limits - Respect X-RateLimit-* headers
  6. Cache results - Avoid redundant requests for the same data
  7. Use sort=relevance for topic research, sort=latest for real-time monitoring
