# Article Search

> Find articles and press mentions for a person.

- **Endpoint:** `POST https://api.nyne.ai/person/articlesearch`
- **Group:** Person APIs (https://api.nyne.ai/documentation/person.md)
- **Auth:** `X-API-Key` + `X-API-Secret` headers
- **Mode:** Asynchronous - submit returns a `request_id` (normally with `202 Accepted`); poll `GET /person/articlesearch?request_id=<request_id>` with the same auth headers until the endpoint reports a terminal response. Where supported, a `callback_url` can notify you when queued work finishes; follow this endpoint's retrieval notes.
- **HTML version:** https://api.nyne.ai/documentation/person/articlesearch

Searches for articles, interviews, publications, and press mentions about a specific person. Both `name` and `company` are required; results can be ordered by recency or popularity. Each result carries a content `type` - `article`, `podcast`, `youtube`, or `research_paper`. The request is queued and returns a `request_id` to poll, or a `callback_url` can receive the completed result.

## Authentication

All `/person/*` and `/company/*` endpoints authenticate with an API key and secret sent as HTTP headers on every request: `X-API-Key` and `X-API-Secret`. Create keys from your Nyne.ai dashboard and keep the secret server-side. Rate limits: 100 requests/minute, 1,000 requests/hour. Full guide: https://api.nyne.ai/documentation/authentication.md

## Parameters

| Name | Type | Required | Description | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | string | **yes** | Full name of the person to search for. | "Jane Doe" |
| `company` | string | **yes** | Company the person is associated with - disambiguates common names. | "Acme" |
| `sort` | string | no | Result ordering - `recent` (default) or `popular`. | "recent" |
| `limit` | integer | no | Max articles to return. Default 5, capped at 20. | 10 |
| `callback_url` | string | no | If set, the completed result is POSTed here when the job finishes. Must be a valid HTTP(S) URL on an allowed host when a callback allow-list is configured. | "https://hooks.example.com/result" |

## Polling for the result

A newly queued submit normally returns `202 Accepted` with a `request_id`. Poll the same path until `status` is `completed` (results stay available afterwards). Where supported, pass a `callback_url` on the submit to receive a webhook when queued work finishes; keep the documented GET as a recovery and retrieval path:

```bash
curl "https://api.nyne.ai/person/articlesearch?request_id=<request_id>" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "X-API-Secret: YOUR_API_SECRET"
```

## Credit usage

| --- | --- | --- |
| Article Search | - | Charged on a completed search |
| No match | 0 | Empty results never burn credits |

## Responses

| `400` | Malformed JSON, missing required parameters, or an invalid field |
| `401` | Missing or invalid API credentials |
| `402` | insufficient_credits - not enough credits to complete the request |
| `403` | subscription_required or ip_not_allowed |
| `404` | request_not_found - no matching request is available for this API key |
