WorldMonitor composes a per-user intelligence brief on Railway, stores each edition in Redis at brief:{userId}:{issueSlot}, writes a latest pointer at brief:latest:{userId}, and exposes these routes for dashboard readback, public sharing, and Telegram/Slack carousel rendering. Default cadence is daily, but each alert rule’s digestMode can schedule daily, twice-daily, or weekly editions. For source selection, filtering, deduplication, LLM grounding, and bias controls, see News Digest and Briefing Methodology.
All read routes require a valid Clerk session and a PRO tier, except the public share route (/api/brief/public/{hash}).

​
Latest brief (authenticated)

​
GET /api/latest-brief

Returns a short summary of the caller’s most recent composed brief, or { status: "composing" } if the requested/current slot has not produced a brief yet. issueDate remains the display/date field (YYYY-MM-DD). issueSlot is the frozen edition key (YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM) used for Redis lookup and HMAC binding; it is present on ready responses and on misses for an explicitly requested slot. The magazineUrl is freshly signed against {userId, issueSlot} so it only works for the authenticated owner.

​
GET /api/brief/{userId}/{issueSlot}

Full magazine reader for issueSlot (YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM). HMAC-signed URL required. The slot format lets two same-day digest sends produce distinct frozen editions.

​
Sharing

​
POST /api/brief/share-url?slot=YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM

Materialises a public share pointer for the caller’s brief on slot. If the slot is omitted, the route resolves brief:latest:{userId}. Idempotent — hash is a pure function of {userId, issueSlot, BRIEF_SHARE_SECRET}.

​
GET /api/brief/public/{hash}

Unauthenticated public read of a previously-shared brief. The hash resolves to a brief:public:{hash} → {userId, issueSlot} Redis pointer; if absent, the brief was never shared. Share pointers are written lazily (on share, not on compose).

​
GET /api/brief/carousel/{userId}/{issueSlot}/{page}.png

Server-rendered PNG page (page = 1..N) of the brief, intended for Telegram sendMediaGroup, Slack chat.postMessage, LinkedIn, etc.
  • Rendered via @resvg/resvg-js with the bundled Linux native binding.
  • Content-Type: image/png, 1080×1350 (4:5 portrait).
  • Not gated — uses the HMAC’d path as the capability.

​
Ancillary

​
GET /api/story?date=YYYY-MM-DD

Public read-only “story view” (web reader) for a shared brief. SEO-friendly HTML response.

​
GET /api/og-story?date=YYYY-MM-DD

Open Graph preview image for /api/story. Returns image/png, cached aggressively.

​
POST /api/chat-analyst

Streaming chat endpoint for the “Ask the analyst” in-dashboard assistant. Takes a user prompt + recent-signal context; returns SSE tokens.
  • Auth: Clerk JWT + PRO
  • Streams: text/event-stream
  • Back-end: intelligence/v1/chat-analyst-* handlers compose context + prompt

​
POST /api/widget-agent

Single-shot completion endpoint used by embedded widget iframes. Auth via X-WorldMonitor-Key (partner keys). Rate-limited per key.
