Frequently Asked Questions

A Breaking News API delivers live news headlines and articles from multiple sources in structured, machine-readable format (usually JSON) as soon as they're published - instead of requiring manual browsing or scraping individual news sites.

Sign up for an API key, then call the /latest endpoint (or connect via the WebSocket endpoint once live) with your key and any filters (keyword, country, category, language) to retrieve current headlines in JSON.

WebSocket streaming is on the way - it's an announced upcoming feature that will let you receive live news updates as they're published, without repeated polling. Until it launches, real-time delivery works via polling the /latest endpoint at your plan's rate limit.

The /latest endpoint is pull-based - your app requests it on an interval and pays credits per call, so there's always a small gap between publish time and when you fetch it. WebSocket is push-based - once connected, new articles are pushed to you the moment they're published, removing polling delay and reducing wasted requests when nothing new has happened.

The Breaking/Latest News endpoint returns current headlines (typically from the past 48 hours); the Historical News API queries the archive, covering anywhere from 6 hours ago to 10 years back, for research, trend analysis, or backtesting

It covers breaking news from 206+ countries, in 90+ languages, across 18+ news categories, sourced from nearly 102889+ news sources.

Common use cases: brand/media monitoring dashboards, market and financial trend alerts, competitor tracking, news aggregator apps, AI/LLM data feeds, and sentiment-analysis pipelines.

Yes - NewsData.io offers a free plan for the Breaking News API with articles delayed by 12 hours. See our Free News API page for full details on credits and limits.

Google News API and Bing News Search API have both been officially discontinued (Bing's was retired by Microsoft in August 2025), so neither is a real option anymore. Yahoo's News API charges per query with no free tier, and Bloomberg's API is enterprise-priced and focused on financial data rather than general news. NewsData.io covers 206 countries, 90 languages, and 18 categories, with a free tier that allows commercial use.
