News API

In plain words

News API is a JSON API that allows developers to search current articles across multiple news sources by keyword and retrieve article metadata. It functions as a modern replacement for the deprecated Google News API, making it useful for developers building news aggregation, research, or content discovery applications. The service is free for developer use.
