Guides for NewsAPI

Step-by-step setup for the most popular AI clients.

Setting up NewsAPI

From the connector definition itself: where to find the credentials, what they need to be allowed to do, and which API this adapter talks to.

This connector wraps the NewsAPI v2 REST API (newsapi.org).

Setup:

  1. Register at https://newsapi.org/register for a free Developer key.
  2. Set NEWSAPI_API_KEY.

Authentication: NewsAPI accepts the key as either the X-Api-Key header (used by this adapter) OR an apiKey query string. We use the header so it doesn't appear in URL logs.

Plan limits — IMPORTANT:

  • Developer (free): 100 requests / day, articles delayed by 24h, no commercial use, results capped at 100 per query.
  • Paid plans: live articles, no daily cap, full historical archive.

Three endpoints:

  • everything — full archive search, the most powerful. Filter by q, sources, domains, from/to date, language, sortBy.
  • top-headlines — breaking news, filtered by country, category, sources, or q. You CANNOT mix country/category with sources in the same call.
  • top-headlines/sources — list all sources, optional filters by category, language, country.

Query syntax: q supports AND, OR, NOT, exact-phrase double quotes, and grouping with parentheses. Example: q=(apple AND iphone) NOT macbook.

Languages: ISO-639-1 codes — en, it, de, es, fr, ... See docs for full list.

Out of scope here: NewsAPI does NOT expose article full text — only title, description, content (truncated to ~200 chars). For full text you must fetch the url separately.

Your AI is two clicks away from NewsAPI.
