baba News by baba Hebrew missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

Available tools 16

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

sources

sources_activity

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.

sources_get

One newsroom, with profile when computed. Requires the sources API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.

sources_list

List newsrooms. Requires the sources API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.

stories

stories_get

Story detail: members, timeline, framing. Requires the stories API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.

stories_list

List stories. Requires the stories API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.

stories_members

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.

people

people_get

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.

people_list

People in the last 24 hours. Requires the people API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.

threads

threads_get

One running story and its whole arc. Every instalment we still hold, newest first, in the same shape as a story on /v1/stories. The arc is bounded by limit and returned whole rather than paged. Requires the stories API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.

threads_list

List running stories. Requires the stories API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.

blindspots

blindspots_list

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

brief

brief_get

Today in Brief. Requires the brief API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.

changes

changes_list

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

search_list

Search stories. Requires the search API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.

topics

topics_list

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

trending

trending_list

Newsroom momentum ranked by an explicit computed metric (newsroom-momentum-v1). Requires the stories API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.
