  Coverage gaps, by camp. Requires the stories API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.

  Parameters:

  • lang — string — Output language. Hebrew falls back to English per field when a row is missing.
  • side — string — Return only stories the named group did not run. Unknown values are 400. Since 2026-10-01 the press is read in five groups (left, centre, right, haredi, arab), with the outlets outside them as other; the old values are still accepted as the group they became: religious as right, russian and business as other. Other is never missing, so other, russian and business return no stories.
  • limit — integer — Page size. Non-integer or negative values are 400; values above 100 are clamped to 100 and echoed as page.limit.
  • state — string — Repeatable. Unknown values are 400, unlike on /v1/stories, because this resource is only about these two.

  • window — integer — How many minutes back to consider a state row current, 15-10080. Values below 15 are raised to 15; above 10080 are clamped.

• stories_members read-only

  Every article in a cluster, paged. The same member records /v1/stories/{ckey} returns, but paged and filterable by side or lean. side and lean come from the source registry rather than the row, so a filtered page can be shorter than its limit while still issuing a cursor. Requires the stories API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.

  Parameters:

  • ckey (required) — integer
  • lang — string — Output language. Hebrew falls back to English per field when a row is missing.
  • lean — string — Only members with this political lean. Unknown values are 400.
  • side — string — Only members from this group. Unknown values are 400. The old values religious, russian and business are accepted as right, other and other.
  • limit — integer — Page size. Non-integer or negative values are 400; values above 100 are clamped to 100 and echoed as page.limit.
  • cursor — string — Opaque keyset cursor from a previous page nextCursor. Malformed values are 400.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world yes

• changes_list read-only

  Incremental change feed. Requires the stories API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.

  Parameters:

  • since (required) — string — ISO 8601 instant. Runs forward in time from here. Values older than seven days are raised to seven days ago, which is as far back as cluster state is kept warm.
  • lang — string — Output language. Hebrew falls back to English per field when a row is missing.
  • limit — integer — Page size, 1-500. Non-integer or negative values are 400; values above 500 are clamped.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world yes

  The desk register with live volume. Requires the sources API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.

  Parameters:

  • days — integer — Days back, 1-7. Non-integer or negative values are 400; values above 7 are clamped.
  • lang — string — Output language. Hebrew falls back to English per field when a row is missing.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world yes

• sources_activity read-only

  Measured newsroom behaviour. What a newsroom did rather than what its profile says it is: crawl outcomes over the window, and the byline, originality, opinion, press-release and filing-lag rates the profile cron computed over its own 30-day window. successRate is over finished runs only, so a crawl still in flight never reads as a failure. Requires the sources API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.

  Parameters:

  • key (required) — string
  • days — integer — Days back, 1-30. Non-integer or negative values are 400; values above 30 are clamped.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world yes

• people_get read-only

  One person, with every spelling folded into them. Identity and aliases. recentCoverage is always null: resolving a person to their stories has no index behind it today, and the field is in the contract so filling it later is additive. Requires the people API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.

  Parameters:

  • id (required) — integer
  • lang — string — Output language. Hebrew falls back to English per field when a row is missing.

  Hints: read-only yes · destructive no · idempotent not declared · open-world yes
