Error Handling

Note: Since this query has no arguments, errors related to invalid arguments are not applicable.

Performance Considerations

• The articles and lastUpdated fields are optional and may return large datasets. Use field selection to limit the amount of data retrieved.
• The recent field is required and optimized for quick access to the latest articles.
• Avoid requesting all fields if only a subset of data is needed to reduce response size and improve performance.
• Implement client-side caching for repeated queries to reduce network overhead.
• The API may enforce rate limits; monitor response headers or error messages for rate limiting information.

Authentication

This API currently does not require authentication. However, authentication requirements may be introduced in future versions. Monitor API updates for any changes to authentication requirements.

Notes

• The blog query returns the entire blog object; clients should select only the fields they need.
• The recent field is guaranteed to return an array of articles, even if empty.
• The articles and lastUpdated fields may be omitted or null if no data is available.
• Pagination, filtering, and sorting are not supported directly on this query’s fields.
• Keep an eye on API version updates for new features or changes to this query.
