New York Times vs Noozra

The NYT Developer Network exposes ten separate APIs (Article Search, Top Stories, Books, Most Popular, and more) over a shared API-key scheme, all returning JSON. Registration and usage are completely free, but the terms restrict every API to non-commercial projects only — selling access, running ads, or shipping the data inside a paid product all require a separate licensing deal through NYT Licensing.

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.
