For instance, specifying "prioritydomain=top" will retrieve 100 news sources that rank within the top 10% of all available sources.

Newsdata.io API

Today, we're launching 1 new parameter "qInMeta". Along with "q" and "qInTitle" we are launching one more query parameter to let our users get more news compared to "qInTitle" and much more relevancy compared to "q" parameters.

"qInMeta": Search news articles for specific keywords or phrases present in the news titles, URL, meta keywords and meta description only. The value must be URL-encoded and the maximum character limit permitted is 512 characters. Note: qInMeta can't be used with either q or qInTitle parameters in the same query.

Difference between "q", "qInTitle" and "qInMeta"

"qInTitle" searches the keywords/phrases only in the Title of the news articles.

"qInMeta" searches the keywords/phrases in Title, URL, meta description and meta keywords of the news articles.

"q" searches the keywords/phrases in everything like Title, URL, meta description, meta keywords and full content of the articles.
