TheNews
TheNewsAPI aggregates headlines, top stories, and similar-article recommendations from thousands of sources, adding over a million new articles weekly. The free tier grants 100 requests/day returning up to 3 articles per response; paid plans from Basic up to Pro raise the daily quota and the number of articles returned per call. Every endpoint is authenticated with an api_token query parameter and returns JSON.
