Search news sources
From the wordpress dashboard on News Search Engine => News Search Engine, click on Sources and follow the instruction on screen.
This endpoint returns the subset of news publishers that top headlines (/v2/top-headlines) are available from. It’s mainly a convenience endpoint that you can use to keep track of the publishers available on the API, and you can pipe it straight through to your users.
Search any news
From the wordpress dashboard on News Search Engine => News Search Engine, click on Everything and follow the instruction on screen.
Search through millions of articles from over 30,000 large and small news sources and blogs. This includes breaking news as well as lesser articles.
This endpoint suits article discovery and analysis, but can be used to retrieve articles for display, too.
Search Top Headlines news
From the wordpress dashboard on News Search Engine => News Search Engine, click on Top Headlines and follow the instruction on screen.
This endpoint provides live top and breaking headlines for a country, specific category in a country, single source, or multiple sources. You can also search with keywords. Articles are sorted by the earliest date published first.
This endpoint is great for retrieving headlines for display on news tickers or similar.
NOTE From Google NEWS API
To get started you’ll need an API key. They’re free for development, open-source, and non-commercial use.
Also we’re assuming you know how to make web requests in your chosen programming language. We’ve included some crude ways to do this in our examples below if you need a place to start. Alternatively you can use one of our client libraries.
Now let’s consider two of the most popular use cases for News API and walk through each one:
* I want to show my users live top and breaking news headlines
* I want to search across every news article that mentions a specific topic or keyword (limited to the last 24 months).
