What it does
World News API searches news articles from sources in many countries and languages, with filters for text, entities, location, date, sentiment and source. Use it for news widgets, monitoring a company or topic, or research. Call the REST endpoints with your API key and get JSON. Free with a free API key: 50 points a day, one request per second and one month of history, with a link back to worldnewsapi.com required; paid plans remove the link and raise the limits. An official MCP server (world-news-api-mcp) lets AI agents search news through the World News API.
