    • Submit a search request to /api/v2/query-async to receive a query_id.

    • Use the query_id and your API_key with /api/v2/get-results to check the status of your query and access results when they’re ready.

• Improved Query Performance:

  • Async Query Results are cached in solid-state memory, enabling much faster pagination through large query results.

  • Launched the /api/v2/headlines endpoint to retrieve trending news topics and related articles.

• Enhanced Search Flexibility:

  • Improved /api/v2/query to better handle missing fields.
