## Workflows

### Search for articles on a topic

2. `getArticle(id)` → `content.rendered`, `title`, `date`, `_embedded.author`

### Get the latest tech news
1. `getLatest()` → `id`, `title`, `excerpt`, `date`, `link`
2. `getArticle(id)` → `content.rendered`, `title`, `date`

### Browse articles by category
1. `getCategory(categories)` → `id`, `title`, `excerpt`, `date`
2. `getArticle(id)` → `content.rendered`, `title`, `date`

### Research a topic across categories
1. `searchArticles(search, orderby: date)` → `id`, `title`, `date`, `categories`
2. `getCategory(categories)` → compare coverage across categories
