News API is a simple HTTP REST API for searching and retrieving live articles from all over the web. It can help you answer questions like:

• What top stories is TechCrunch running right now?
• What new articles were published about the next iPhone today?
• Has my company or product been mentioned or reviewed by any blogs recently?

You can search for articles with any combination of the following criteria:

• Keyword or phrase. Eg: find all articles containing the word ‘Microsoft’.
• Date published. Eg: find all articles published yesterday.
• Source name. Eg: find all articles by ‘TechCrunch’.
• Source domain name. Eg: find all articles published on thenextweb.com.
• Language. Eg: find all articles written in English.

You can sort the results in the following orders:

• Date published
• Relevancy to search keyword
• Popularity of source

You need an API key to use the API – this is a unique key that identifies your requests. They’re free for development, open-source, and non-commercial use. You can get one here: get API key.
