News
NewsAPI.org indexes headlines and articles from over 150,000 sources worldwide in 55 countries, letting you search current coverage or (on paid tiers) up to five years of history. Access is entirely server-side: the free Developer plan caps requests at 100/day, delays articles 24 hours, and is explicitly licensed for local development and testing only, not production traffic. It returns JSON exclusively via a single API-key parameter.
