## About 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.
