description: World News API is a real-time and historical news data API covering thousands of sources across 210+ countries
  and 86+ languages. It provides full-text and semantic news search, geo-targeted local news search (a radius filter around
  a latitude/longitude point), article content and link extraction from arbitrary URLs, country-level top news clustering,
  newspaper front-page images, and news-source discovery. Local news search is a first-class feature - resolve a place name
  to coordinates with the Geo Coordinates endpoint, then pass those coordinates to Search News via the location-filter parameter
  to find news published or mentioned near that place. Requests are authenticated with an API key (api-key query parameter
  or x-api-key header) and metered in points against a daily plan allowance, with X-API-Quota-* headers returning cost and
  remaining budget on every response. The provider publishes its own OpenAPI 3 document, generated client libraries for two
  dozen languages, and a first-party local-stdio MCP server exposing eight news tools to AI agents.
