World News API

World News is a global news API that reads about 275 outlet feeds in 29 editions and 6 languages and merges them into stories: one entry per story however many outlets carry it, ranked by that coverage. Filter by 13 topics, by the country a story is about, by the edition it ran in, or by language.

The World News API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate world news functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready world news capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
