List Sections

List 787daily's news sections (categories) and what each covers.

List Condition Spots

List every 787daily Puerto Rico adventure spot with its activities and the CURRENT activity-window verdict (good/fair/marginal/poor, scored from buoy + marine data at the site's last build). Use a spot's key with get_conditions for live numbers.

Get Conditions

Live conditions at a Puerto Rico spot from public data (Open-Meteo): wave height/period/direction, sea-surface temp, air temp, and wind. Use list_condition_spots for valid keys.

Get Town Weather

Current conditions plus a 24-hour hourly forecast AND a 7-day daily outlook for any of Puerto Rico's 78 municipalities, by slug (e.g. 'san-juan', 'ponce', 'rio-grande'). Hourly temperature (°F), wind (mph + direction) and conditions; daily high/low, rain chance and amount, peak wind, UV, sunrise/sunset — from Open-Meteo via 787daily's cached endpoint.

Search News

Semantic vector search over 787daily's Puerto Rico news corpus. Returns the most relevant article matches (title, URL, topic, date, score) for a free-text query — without generating an answer. Use this when you want matching articles rather than a synthesized answer; use ask() when you want a grounded narrative answer.

Ask

Ask a question about Puerto Rico and get a grounded, cited answer synthesized from 787daily's own news corpus. Returns { answer, sources, refused }. If the question is off-topic or not covered by the corpus the answer is refused cleanly — no outside knowledge is ever used. For raw article matches without generation, use search_news() instead.

Get By Entity

Return 787daily articles that mention a specific named entity (person, organization, or place), newest-first. Match is on the entity's canonical name (case-insensitive). Returns { name, count, articles[] }.

Get By Municipality

Return 787daily articles that mention a specific Puerto Rico municipality, newest-first. Accepts canonical names and common variants (e.g. 'San Juan', 'Ponce', 'Rincón'). Returns { name, count, articles[] }.
