# Newsle

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/newsle/  
**APIs profiled:** 0

Newsle was a news-alerting startup that used disambiguation, natural language processing, and machine-learning algorithms to find blog posts and articles mentioning people in a user's professional and social network, notifying them seconds after publication. Founded around 2011 and backed by Bloomberg Beta, it grew to more than two million users before being acquired by LinkedIn in July 2014, after which its team and features were folded into LinkedIn and the standalone product was retired. The newsle.com domain no longer resolves to a live site and the company exposes no public developer portal, documentation, or API surface today. This profile is retained in the API Evangelist network as a historical portfolio-company lead.
