Connect NewsAPI to your AI agent
News API is a simple HTTP REST API for searching and retrieving live articles from all over the web.
We set up the connection using your own NewsAPI account, with keys you control, and keep it running. Your agent picks it up and starts doing the work.
What your agent can do in NewsAPI
Each one is a real action the agent can take on its own, the same things a person clicking around NewsAPI could do. Read-only by default; write actions are confirmed against your policy.
- Get Everything Tool to search through every article published by over 150,000 sources. At least one of q, sources, language, or domains must be set or the API returns a parametersMissing error. Historical date range depends on your Ne…
- Get Sources Tool to fetch available news sources. Use when you need to retrieve a list of publishers by optional filters like category, language, or country. Source IDs returned here are the only valid IDs for filtering in NEWS_API…
- Get Top Headlines Tool to retrieve live top and breaking headlines; does not support historical or date-bounded queries (use NEWS_API_GET_EVERYTHING for past date ranges). Results favor major outlets; use NEWS_API_GET_EVERYTHING or COMPO…
- Get V1 Articles Tool to fetch live article metadata from a news source using the legacy v1 API. Use when you need headlines from a specific source identifier. This v1 endpoint has been superseded by /v2/top-headlines.
How we connect it
- 1
Connect your account
You create a key in NewsAPI, a key you create and control, and paste it in once. It lives in a secrets store on your server, not with us.
- 2
Set the guardrails
Read-only by default. You choose which write actions the agent may take, and anything outside that policy gets confirmed with you first.
- 3
We keep it running
Health checks on every connection, updates handled for you, and we watch the first week of activity to make sure the work lands.
