This search should get all the articles in today's paper but today it only returns a crossword:


The same thing happened in September 2023, and around Christmas the year before I think.

Thanks,
Phil

Aha, I see the Observer is now no longer part of the Guardian and has its own site https://observer.co.uk

I hadn't noticed that in the Guardian's news coverage this week!

So, on the API front, does that mean the Guardian published *nothing* on Sundays? Or is the API actually broken?

I can see that if I change the use-date from "newspaper-edition" to "published" that, so far, 9 articles/crosswords were published today:

Hi Phil,

I like that you discovered the sale of the Observer from GNM to Tortoise through API monitoring! From 1993 to 2025, there was no Guardian edition published on Sunday, instead the Observer was published.
Following the sale, there is currently no plan to publish a Guardian edition on Sunday.
