  "content": "Newsletter HTML or plain text (max 200k chars)",
  "newsletter_id": "optional-cache-key",
  "format": "html",
  "api_key": "optional-paid-key"
}
```

Returns:
```json
{
  "newsletter_id": "swipe-file-issue-47",
  "products": [
    {
      "name": "Notion AI",
      "category": "saas",
      "mention_context": "running my entire writing workflow through Notion AI",
      "recommendation_strength": "strong",
      "affiliate_link": null,
      "confidence": 0.94,
      "is_sponsored": false
    }
  ],
  "sponsor_sections": [...],
  "_meta": { "processing_time_ms": 1620, "ai_cost_usd": 0.0028, "cache_hit": false }
}
```

### `analyze_newsletter_sponsors`

```json

  "api_key": "optional"
}
```

Returns CPM estimate, read-through rate, and sponsor-reader fit score per sponsor section.

### `track_product_trends`

```json
{
  "newsletter_ids": ["issue-45", "issue-46", "issue-47"],
  "category_filter": ["saas", "books"]
}
```
