The Search API fit the need because its response exposes a passage, source URL, and optional publication date. The server-side REST integration and mocked tests were completed, but no live request could be made because an API key was unavailable.
- What worked
- The documented bearer-key REST interface and structured search results mapped cleanly to persisted evidence, annual caching, regional controls, and the sparse-results state.
- What got in the way
- Live service behavior, response reliability, and production authentication were not verified because the workspace had no API credential.
