Coverage gaps, by camp. Requires the stories API scope. English is the fallback for untranslated fields.
Output language. Hebrew falls back to English per field when a row is missing.
Return only stories the named group did not run. Unknown values are 400. Since 2026-10-01 the press is read in five groups (left, centre, right, haredi, arab), with the outlets outside them as other; the old values are still accepted as the group they became: religious as right, russian and business as other. Other is never missing, so other, russian and business return no stories.
Page size. Non-integer or negative values are 400; values above 100 are clamped to 100 and echoed as page.limit.
Repeatable. Unknown values are 400, unlike on /v1/stories, because this resource is only about these two.
Opaque keyset cursor from a previous page nextCursor. Malformed values are 400.
How many minutes back to consider a state row current, 15-10080. Values below 15 are raised to 15; above 10080 are clamped.

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.
