Chronicling America vs Noozra

Chronicling America is the Library of Congress's searchable archive of historic U.S. newspaper pages published through 1963, built from the National Digital Newspaper Program. As of August 2025 its data moved fully onto the general loc.gov JSON/YAML API, retiring the old chroniclingamerica.loc.gov endpoints in favor of structured search, batch, and full-text access — no API key is required, though heavy use should self-throttle.

Noozra aggregates headlines from more than 200 curated RSS sources into one JSON feed. No signup or API key is required, and every response carries an open CORS header. Requests are capped at 100 per day per IP, with separate endpoints for search, category listing, and the raw article feed.
