News API

Search worldwide news with code.

Visit News API

News API is a REST API that returns JSON search results for current and historic news articles from over 150,000 worldwide sources, covering hundreds of millions of articles in 14 languages from 55 countries. It is intended for locating articles and breaking news headlines from news sources and blogs across the web, with results returned through simple HTTP GET requests or SDKs available in supported languages.

Search and filter options include keywords and phrases, Boolean operators (AND / OR / NOT) with brackets, title-only search, date ranges and timeframes, publisher domain filtering (including exclusions), and language selection. Endpoints include article search and top headlines, with parameters for country, category, and source.

Plans are Developer (free, for development and testing, with a daily request limit and delayed articles), Business and Advanced (for production and commercial projects, with monthly request allowances and overage rates, plus an uptime SLA on Advanced), and Enterprise (custom, with extra articles, extended sources, article and story clustering, custom classifications, unlimited requests, custom SLA, and on-premise deployment).
