## Updates from SerpApi
### 2026-05-14 13:58 UTC: investigating
While using the Google Search engine and passing \`tbm=nws\` to receive news results, the \`news\_results\` section is empty while HTML contains full results.
We are currently investigating this issue - apologies for any inconvenience.

### 2026-05-14 15:16 UTC: resolved
This is now resolved.

From the builder: does your app depend on SerpApi? [Sazabi](https://www.sazabi.com/?utm_source=down-guide&utm_medium=markdown&utm_content=serpapi) detects problems in your own logs without hand-written monitors, and you can ask it in plain language which errors mention SerpApi.
