# Get Market Context

Use Asha.News public market endpoints for lightweight prices and source-backed instrument news. No API key is needed for public read endpoints.

- Price snapshot: `GET https://asha.news/api/v1/instruments/prices?symbols=BTCUSD,ETHUSD,XAUUSD,OIL`
- Instrument news: `GET https://asha.news/api/v1/instruments/BTCUSD/news?limit=10`
- Finance search: `GET https://asha.news/api/v1/articles?q=markets&limit=10`, `GET /api/v1/clusters/search?q=markets`

Output rules: preserve `source`, `updated_at`, `as_of`, and `market_state`; never invent missing prices, percentage moves, or timestamps; if source is `cache`, say it may be stale.
