The Webz.io News API searches news articles from the open web in many languages, with filters for country, language, site, sentiment and date, for example to track coverage of a company or topic. Requests are GET calls with a token and a query in Webz's Boolean syntax, and the answers are JSON or XML. Free with a free API key and 5 dollars of usage credit every month; after that the API is pay as you go. History on the free plan is limited. An official MCP server at https://news-mcp.webz.io/mcp lets AI agents search the news.
