APITube

APITube is a News API that turns the world's news into structured JSON, so you never write a crawler or parse HTML again.

What APITube does

One call to GET /v1/news/everything searches articles from 500,000+ verified sources across 180+ countries in 60+ languages. You combine 65+ filter parameters in that single request: keywords matched on the article title, language, country, source domain, source quality rank, sentiment range, entity IDs, media presence and publish date ranges. Every article comes back already enriched — sentiment score, extracted entities (people, organizations, locations, brands, events), IPTC categories, topics and industries — so there is no NLP step left on your side.

Other endpoints cover the shapes you would otherwise build yourself. /v1/news/top-headlines returns breaking coverage. /v1/news/story groups articles that describe the same event into one cluster. /v1/news/trends reports trending entities, topics and categories over time buckets. /v1/news/stream is a live feed over Server-Sent Events. /v1/suggest/entities turns a name like "Tesla" into the entity ID you filter on.

Who APITube is for

Developers building brand and media monitoring with sentiment attached. Fintech and market intelligence teams filtering news by entity, industry and sentiment before it reaches a model. AI builders wiring a live news corpus into RAG pipelines and agents instead of scraping HTML. Researchers pulling historical coverage for backtesting — the archive is queryable with the same filters as live articles. Indie makers who want a news feed inside their product without running crawling infrastructure.

Common questions about APITube

How do I authenticate? One API key, sent as an api_key query parameter, an X-API-Key header, or Authorization: Bearer.

Can I get news in real time? Yes. The /v1/news/stream endpoint pushes matches over Server-Sent Events, and webhooks deliver new articles to your endpoint as they are indexed.

Does APITube work with AI agents? Yes. APITube runs a hosted MCP server that exposes two tools, search_news and suggest, to any MCP client — Claude, Cursor, VS Code. Clients that only speak stdio connect through the mcp-remote bridge.

Is there a historical archive? Yes. Past coverage is queryable with the same filters as live articles.

Where is the documentation? The full parameter reference, response schema and code samples are on the APITube documentation site, linked from the project website.
