APITube

APITube is a News API that turns the world's news into structured JSON. Instead of running crawlers, parsers and your own NLP stack, you send one HTTP request and get back articles that are already cleaned and enriched.

What comes back in every article: sentiment scores, extracted entities (people, organizations, locations, brands, events), IPTC categories, topics and industries. Coverage is 500,000+ verified sources across 180+ countries in 60+ languages, both real-time and historical.

Endpoints:

• GET /v1/news/everything — search with 65+ filter parameters combined in a single request: keywords, language, country, source domain, source quality rank, sentiment range, entity IDs, media presence, date ranges.

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

• GET /v1/news/story — articles clustered into stories.

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

• GET /v1/news/stream — a live feed over Server-Sent Events.

• GET /v1/suggest/entities — resolve a name like "Tesla" into the entity ID you filter on.

Delivery: JSON by default, with XML, CSV, TSV, XLSX, JSONL and Parquet exports on paid plans. Webhooks and WebSocket dispatches push new matches to your endpoint as they are indexed. Authentication is one API key, passed as an api_key query parameter, an X-API-Key header or an Authorization: Bearer header.

Building with AI agents? APITube runs a hosted MCP server at mcp.apitube.io — nothing to install locally, just an API key in the Authorization header. MCP clients such as Claude and Cursor get two tools, search_news and suggest, plus ready-made prompts for company monitoring and topic sentiment. The MCP server is available on paid plans, starting with Starter.

Typical builds: media and brand monitoring with sentiment attached, market and financial intelligence filtered by entity and industry, RAG pipelines that need a live news corpus instead of scraped HTML, research datasets for backtesting, and products that ship a news feed without maintaining a crawler.

Free tier: 100 requests/day, no card required. Paid plans start at $29/month, with pay-as-you-go at $0.01 per request. SDKs for Node.js, PHP and Python at github.com/apitube, docs at docs.apitube.io.
