Representative actions
- Get Everything
Tool to search through every article published by over 150,000 sources. At least one of q, sources, language, or domains must be set or the API returns a parametersMissing error. Historical date range depends on your News API plan tier (free plans limited to ~1 month). No country parameter exists; target geography via sources, domains, or country-specific terms in q. Burst requests may trigger HTTP 429; apply backoff on throttling errors.
- Get Sources
Tool to fetch available news sources. Use when you need to retrieve a list of publishers by optional filters like category, language, or country. Source IDs returned here are the only valid IDs for filtering in NEWS_API_GET_EVERYTHING or NEWS_API_GET_TOP_HEADLINES — unrecognized IDs cause silently empty results.
- Get V1 Articles
Tool to fetch live article metadata from a news source using the legacy v1 API. Use when you need headlines from a specific source identifier. This v1 endpoint has been superseded by /v2/top-headlines.
