APITube

APITube is a News API that returns the world's news as structured JSON, so you don't have to run a crawler.

One GET /v1/news/everything call accepts 65+ filter parameters: keywords, language, country, source domain, source quality rank, sentiment range, entity IDs, media presence and date ranges. Every article comes back already enriched — sentiment score, extracted entities (people, organizations, locations, brands, events), IPTC categories, topics and industries.

Coverage: 500,000+ verified sources across 180+ countries in 60+ languages.

Other endpoints cover the common shapes directly:

• /v1/news/top-headlines — breaking coverage

• /v1/news/story — articles clustered into a single story

• /v1/news/trends — trending entities, topics and categories over time buckets

• /v1/news/stream — live Server-Sent Events feed

• /v1/suggest/entities — turns "Tesla" into an entity ID before you filter on it

Delivery: JSON by default, with JSONL, XML, CSV, TSV, XLSX and Parquet exports on paid plans. Webhooks and WebSocket dispatches push new matches to your endpoint as they are indexed.

Auth is a single API key: api_key query parameter, X-API-Key header, or Authorization: Bearer.

For AI assistants there is a hosted MCP server that needs no install: just an API key in the Authorization header. Endpoint: https://mcp.apitube.io/

SDKs for Node.js, PHP and Python live at https://github.com/apitube

Typical uses: media and brand monitoring with sentiment attached, market intelligence filtered by entity and industry, news feeds inside products, and live corpora for RAG pipelines and AI agents.

Free tier: 100 requests/day, no credit card. Paid plans from $29/month. The MCP server requires a paid plan (Starter and up).
