# The Guardian

## Overview
Major UK/international news outlet. Open public REST API at content.guardianapis.com for searching articles, fetching full content, and browsing section feeds.

## Workflows

### Search for articles on a topic
1. `searchArticles(q)` → `id`, webTitle, sectionId, webPublicationDate
2. `getArticle(ids=id)` → fields.body, fields.headline, fields.byline

### Browse latest news in a section
1. `getSectionFeed(section)` → `id`, webTitle, webPublicationDate
2. `getArticle(ids=id)` → full article body

### Research a topic across sections
1. `searchArticles(q, order-by: newest)` → recent coverage
2. `getSectionFeed(section)` → compare coverage across sections
