News Search
Wraps Brave's News Search API to pull recent articles with titles, URLs, descriptions, and thumbnails. The freshness filtering is genuinely useful: pass `pd` for breaking news from the last 24 hours, or use date ranges like `2026-01-01to2026-01-31` for historical research. The standout feature is Goggles, which lets you re-rank results by boosting trusted outlets or blocking sources entirely, either inline or via hosted config files. Supports SafeSearch, extra snippets, and standard search operators. You'll need a Brave Search API key. Good for building custom news feeds or monitoring specific topics without the noise of a general search API.
