What it returns

Crypto news from many outlets, newest first, 20 items a page. Market-wide by default; coin narrows it to one coin, by the coin id market-movers lists. Twenty pages reach back about ten hours market-wide, and much further for a single coin. Items are headlines with a link to the article, not the article text. A coin with no coverage answers an empty list, and so can a page past the end. A coin id that names no coin returns 404.
