News API gives you structured access to a continuously updated index of news articles from sources worldwide. NewsCatcher scrapes, normalizes, and enriches this content — including NLP processing across original-language articles and their English translations — and stores it in a searchable index. The API returns JSON over HTTPS. If you’re new here, the Quickstart gets you your first response in under five minutes.

​
What you can build

You can use News API to power a wide range of applications, including:
  • AI training and RAG pipelines — use a timestamped, multilingual, source-attributed news corpus for LLM fine-tuning, temporal reasoning training, or as the knowledge base for AI agents grounded in real-world events.
  • Financial intelligence — derive sentiment signals, track market-moving stories by company or sector, and backtest news-driven strategies against years of historical data.
  • Media and brand monitoring — track mentions, sentiment shifts, and coverage patterns across a broad range of global sources in near real-time.
  • Competitive intelligence — monitor competitor activity, executive moves, product launches, and reputational events over time.
  • Geopolitical and risk intelligence — score country risk, track sanctions coverage, and monitor supply chain disruptions using structured news signals.

​
Core concepts

Familiarize yourself with these concepts before diving into the API:
  • Articles — the core resource: structured JSON documents representing a single published piece of content.
  • NLP enrichment — sentiment, named entities, themes, and summaries added at index time for articles from July 2023 onward.
  • Clustering — grouping articles that cover the same story using embedding-based similarity.
  • Sources — the publishers and domains indexed by NewsCatcher; queryable to validate coverage.
