What's big in the news right now — a curated multi-bucket roll-up (breaking/world/tech/business/politics/science by default, or your own queries) ranked by recent volume, each with a few representative headlines. SLOW BY NATURE: the analytics index behind this endpoint currently answers in about 20-25 seconds and refuses a large share of connections, so expect a ~20-25s call and an occasional honest 'source did not answer' rather than a sub-second reply. If the source misses, a reading up to 30 minutes old may be returned instead, always labelled with stale_age_seconds. For fast news use search / top_headlines / by_source (~1s). PARTIAL BY DESIGN: each bucket is fetched independently, so a call can return fewer topics than requested; meta.bucket_errors names the ones that missed, and a repeat call fills them in (buckets already fetched are reused).
