The New York Times Company (NYSE: NYT) is the publisher of The New York Times and operator of a portfolio of news, product-review, sports, cooking, and games products including The Athletic, Wirecutter, Wordle, NYT Cooking, and NYT Games. The company also runs a public developer program at developer.nytimes.com that exposes a family of read-only REST APIs over its newsroom content: article search, top stories, most popular, archive going back to 1851, best-seller and book-review lists, movie reviews, the Times Newswire firehose, the controlled vocabulary that powers Times Topics (TimesTags), the Semantic API, and a Geographic API that pairs Times geo-tagged content with the GeoNames database. All APIs share api.nytimes.com as the host, use a query-string api-key for authentication, and respond as JSON.
