Frequently Asked Questions

Learn how to refine results by keywords, regions, categories, sentiment, AI tag, and more to get the exact news data you need.

The News Count API returns the total number of matching articles for a keyword, topic, company, or source, broken down on an hourly or daily basis, across the Archive, Market, and Crypto endpoints - without returning the full article content, so you get a volume number instead of a full dataset.

Yes - the endpoint supports daily and hourly granularity, letting you build a time-series view of news volume for a keyword or topic instead of a single cumulative number.

The News Count API works across three base endpoints: https://newsdata.io/api/1/count (Archive/historical), https://newsdata.io/api/1/market/count (financial/stock), and https://newsdata.io/api/1/crypto/count (crypto), so you can measure coverage volume whether you're researching historical trends, market-moving events, or crypto-related news.

Each News Count API request consumes 50 API credits, regardless of whether you're querying the Archive, Market, or Crypto count endpoint.

Call the relevant base URL (Archive, Market, or Crypto count endpoint) with your API key plus the required from_date and to_date parameters. Add an optional interval parameter (hourly or daily) to control how counts are broken down; if omitted, you get a single aggregated total for the full date range.

Track hourly or daily count changes for a keyword or topic - a sudden spike in article volume often signals breaking news or a trending story, letting you build automated trend/anomaly detection without polling full article content.

Yes - run parallel count queries for different keywords, brands, or companies and compare totals over the same time window to benchmark relative media coverage or share-of-voice.

Yes - researchers use count data to quantify how widely a story, policy, or event was covered over time, without needing to store or process full article text, which is often unnecessary for volume-based studies.
