NewsAPI is a simple, easy-to-use REST API that returns JSON metadata for news articles and breaking headlines published by over 80,000 worldwide sources and blogs. The API supports full-text keyword search across hundreds of millions of articles, filtering by source domain, language, date range, and sorting by relevance or publication date. A dedicated top-headlines endpoint delivers live breaking news by country and category — covering business, entertainment, general, health, science, sports, and technology. Developers authenticate via an API key passed as a query parameter or HTTP header, and all responses are returned as standard JSON.
