News API — Analytics & Data

What is News API?

News API is a simple, easy-to-use REST API that returns JSON search results for current and historic news articles from over 150,000 worldwide sources. It solves the problem of programmatically accessing news data without scraping multiple websites.

Who is it for?

It is for developers, data analysts, media monitoring platforms, and AI researchers who need to locate articles or breaking news headlines by keyword, source, date, language, or category. It is not for non-technical users who need full article text or who cannot work with JSON endpoints.

Key use cases

Use News API to build news aggregators, monitor brand mentions (e.g., articles about Tesla from the last month), display top headlines by country or category (e.g., US business news), or enrich AI-driven applications with real-time or historical news data. It supports boolean operators, date filters, and domain exclusions.

• Worldwide scale — Search hundreds of millions of articles across 14 languages and 55 countries.
• Easy integration — Get JSON results with simple HTTP GET requests, plus SDKs for popular programming languages.
• Keyword and phrase search — Use singular keywords or exact-match phrases with quotation marks.
• Boolean operators — Combine AND, OR, NOT and brackets for advanced search queries.
• Date and timeframe filters — Focus on recent news or specify a historical period with from/to parameters.
• Publisher and domain control — Limit searches to specific sources (e.g., TechCrunch) or exclude unwanted domains.
• Language and category filters — Narrow results to one of 14 languages or news categories like business or technology.
