News API
APIFree JSON API for real-time news headlines from global sources
Overview
The News API is a RESTful service delivering real-time headlines and articles from thousands of global news sources and blogs. Core endpoints include /v2/top-headlines (filter by country, category, or source), /v2/everything (search via keywords, date ranges, or sources), and /v2/sources (list valid sources with details). Responses are JSON-formatted, containing article title, description, URL, published date, source info, and author. Ideal for building news aggregators, embedding headlines in apps/websites, or media monitoring tools for trend analysis.
