About News

News API is a REST API that returns JSON results for current and historic news and blog articles, covering over 150,000 worldwide sources and hundreds of millions of articles in 14 languages from 55 countries. Requests are made via HTTP GET, with endpoints for searching all articles or retrieving top headlines. Results can be filtered by keyword or exact phrase, required and excluded terms, boolean operators, publisher domain, date range, and language.

The API supports use cases such as tracking mentions of a company or topic, retrieving top headlines by country or category, pulling headlines from a specific source, and searching articles published by a specific domain over a given time period. It is intended for developers building applications that require news search or aggregation functionality, and SDKs are available for integration in multiple programming languages.

A free tier is available for development use without requiring a credit card.
