Search Google News for a term inside a time window: the last hour, day, week or year, or between two dates. Up to 100 items, no second page. Items outside the window are removed. Each item has position, title (publisher name removed), link, source (name and url), date (ISO 8601), guid and related_articles (the other articles of the same story). Costs 1 credit. A search with no result returns 200 with an empty list and costs nothing.
