{}Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|

since | string or null | No | Optional: an ISO 8601 time (2026-10-11T08:00:00Z) or the `cursor` of your last reply. Only stories first seen after it are returned, so a scheduled agent pays only for what is new. Default: null. |
