Live to the minute and archived five years deep, so agents can backtest on history and act on the wire. The keyless free tier works instantly; a free API key (email one-time code) raises limits, and premium ($29/mo) unlocks the full 5-year archive. Tools: get_events, get_event, search_articles, list_sources, corpus_stats.",
