## README

### AAA Search News Articles

Searches the AAA gas price news archive (weekly national reports and state-specific releases going back years) by keyword, optionally restricted to a publication date range, and returns one page of matching articles.

#### Request

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/run" \

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "aaa/search-news-articles", "query": "gas prices"}'

| `query` | string | Yes | Keyword or phrase to search article titles and bodies for, e.g. a state name such as Indiana. |
