NewsAPI.ai

About NewsAPI.ai

NewsAPI.ai is a REST API for searching and analyzing news content, providing access to articles and events (including breaking events) along with text analytics endpoints such as sentiment detection, language detection, named entity detection, semantic annotation, text categorization, and semantic text similarity. It supports querying by keywords, concepts, categories, sources, languages, and locations, with autosuggest endpoints for these condition types, and offers both recent data (last 30 days) and an archive dating back to 2014.

Access requires an API key obtained through free registration, which includes 2,000 tokens for testing; further usage requires a paid subscription. Token consumption varies by request type and time period queried, with archive data charged per year covered and text analytics charged per document analyzed. Query limits (e.g., number of keywords, sources, or concepts per request) differ between trial and paid accounts, and the API enforces a rate limit of 5 simultaneous requests.

The product is aimed at developers building applications that need programmatic access to news data and analysis. Python and Node.js SDKs are provided, along with an OpenAPI specification, and integrations are available for MCP and n8n.
