GNews vs Trove
GNews mirrors Google News rankings across roughly 80,000 sources, exposing search and top-headlines endpoints filterable by category, language, and country. The free plan is capped at 100 requests/day with articles delayed 12 hours and results limited to the last 30 days; paid tiers add same-day articles, a multi-year archive back to 2020, and higher daily caps. Every response is JSON, authenticated with a single API-key query parameter.
Trove is the National Library of Australia's aggregated search across newspapers, books, images, maps, and other cultural-heritage records spanning well over a century. Its REST API returns XML by default with JSON available via an encoding parameter, and moved from v2 to a mandatory v3 in September 2024 after the older version was discontinued. A free API key is required, issued instantly through a Trove account for non-commercial use.
