Watch out for

NewsAPI has strict rate limits so implement retry logic with exponential backoff to avoid blocking.
Competitor websites may block automated scrapers so use rotating user agents and respect robots.txt rules.
Notion API requires specific database IDs so verify property types match the LLM output format exactly.
Slack message length limits can truncate summaries so add character count checks before posting.
