Mediastack vs Noozra
mediastack (now operated under APILayer) aggregates live and historical news and blog articles from thousands of worldwide sources into a single JSON REST endpoint keyed by an access_key parameter. Its free plan is capped at 100 calls/month with delayed news data and HTTP-only access — HTTPS, real-time delivery, and historical search all require moving to a paid Standard plan or higher.
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.
