Which endpoint do I need?

| One article, or up to 100, by ID | Get an article by ID | Lookup by ID; no search. |
| Every outlet that covered the same event | Get a story | Cluster of articles related to one article. |
| Only a number, not the articles | Count articles | Same filters, returns just the total. |
