PitchBook News API has two sources. source=tag reads the public feed of a tag, for example venture-capital, with title, link, date and summary. source=articles reads one file of the article sitemap, paged by offset and limit. An unknown tag returns 404 with the code TAG_NOT_FOUND. It is not charged.
