News search API
News search API: recent news articles by keyword with title, url, source and published_at from our own index of about 100,000 English web articles a day (built from the GDELT Project, thousands of outlets, last 7 days, updated every 15 minutes) plus Hacker News. Category (business, tech, health, science, politics) filters by GDELT topic. Use for current events and topic monitoring.
