World News API

@worldnewsapi search for articles about renewable energy policy published in the last 48 hours from European sources

Here's what I found from European news sources in the last 48 hours on renewable energy policy: 1. **"EU Parliament Advances Green Hydrogen Subsidies"** (EurActiv, 2 hours ago) — Coverage of new legislative framework for hydrogen infrastructure funding. 2. **"Germany's Solar Expansion Hits Record Pace"** (Deutsche Welle, 18 hours ago) — Analysis of Q1 installation data and grid integration challenges. 3. **"UK Offshore Wind Auction Faces Developer Pushback"** (The Guardian, 36 hours ago) — Industry concerns over strike prices and supply chain costs. Each result includes full article text, publication timestamp, source credibility score, and extracted entities (locations, organizations mentioned).

This example shows the MCP's core search capability with geographic and temporal filters. Note that results depend on which news sources World News API actively monitors — niche or paywalled outlets may not appear. The API requires sufficient credits for bulk searches; check your plan's daily article limit before running broad queries.

@worldnewsapi extract the full article content and metadata from this URL: https://example-news-site.com/breaking-story-12345

Successfully extracted article from the provided URL: **Title:** "Central Bank Announces Surprise Rate Cut" **Published:** 2025-01-15 14:32 UTC **Author:** Jane Doe, Economics Desk **Text:** [Full article body extracted, ~800 words covering the rate decision, market reaction, and analyst commentary] **Images:** 2 images extracted (featured image + chart) **Videos:** 1 embedded video (press conference excerpt) **Sentiment:** Neutral-to-positive (algorithmic assessment) All structured data is now available for further analysis or summarization.

This demonstrates the extraction tool's ability to parse arbitrary news URLs into clean JSON. It works best on standard news sites; heavily JavaScript-rendered pages or sites with aggressive anti-scraping may fail. The extracted text strips ads and navigation but preserves article structure. Use this when you need machine-readable content from a specific link rather than searching the API's index.

@worldnewsapi get today's top news from Japan in English, then summarize the three most significant stories in one paragraph each

Retrieved today's top news cluster from Japan (English-language sources). Here are the three most significant stories: **1. Earthquake Preparedness Drill:** Tokyo conducted its largest earthquake preparedness exercise in a decade, involving 50,000 participants across 23 wards. The drill tested new early-warning systems and evacuation protocols following recent seismic activity in the region. **2. Semiconductor Export Agreement:** Japan and the Netherlands finalized restrictions on advanced chipmaking equipment exports, aligning with US-led efforts to limit China's access to cutting-edge lithography technology. Industry groups warn of supply chain disruptions. **3. Tourism Milestone:** Japan welcomed its 30 millionth international visitor this year, surpassing pre-pandemic records. The surge is attributed to yen weakness and relaxed visa requirements for Southeast Asian travelers. Each story is clustered from 4-8 source articles for comprehensive coverage.

This pairs the MCP's 'Get Top News' tool with AI synthesis to deliver curated, country-specific briefings. The clustering feature aggregates multiple sources on the same event, reducing redundancy. Language filtering is reliable, but 'top news' ranking is algorithmic — editorial judgment may differ. Ideal for daily digests or monitoring specific regions without manual news aggregation.

When World News API beats manual clip collection

A 3-person PR agency tracking client mentions across 40 news outlets used to spend 90 minutes each morning copying links into a spreadsheet. World News API's Extract News Links tool pulls every article URL from a target site in seconds, then Extract News structures each piece into JSON with publish date and full text. The team now runs a morning Switchy workflow that checks 8 client-relevant domains, extracts new articles since yesterday, and drops structured clips into their shared workspace. This works until you need sentiment analysis or brand-mention filtering—the MCP doesn't parse content for keywords, so you still manually scan the 60-80 daily results. If your client list stays under 10 brands and your outlets are consistent, the time savings justify the API key cost.

How Get Top News supports weekly competitor scans

A 6-person B2B SaaS product team runs a Friday competitive-intel ritual: one person searches TechCrunch and The Verge for competitor launches, another checks ProductHunt, a third scans LinkedIn. World News API's Get Top News tool clusters headlines from multiple sources by country and date, so the team now pulls the week's top 20 tech stories from the US in a single Switchy call. The clustering saves 15 minutes of deduplication, and the structured output (title, source, URL) pastes cleanly into their Notion board. The limitation: Get Top News returns broad category leaders, not niche vertical coverage. If your competitors are in fintech or healthtech and rarely crack general tech news, you'll still need manual searches. For mainstream SaaS watching mainstream outlets, this cuts the Friday scan from 45 minutes to 10.

When News Website to RSS Feed unblocks content pipelines

A 2-person content studio publishes a weekly industry roundup newsletter. They follow 12 trade publications, but 4 of those sites don't offer RSS feeds. The team used to visit each site daily and copy-paste headlines into a Google Doc. World News API's News Website to RSS Feed tool converts any news page into a feed URL, which they now pipe into their Switchy workspace alongside the 8 native RSS sources. The unified feed view cuts their daily triage from 30 minutes to 8. The catch: the generated feed updates only when you call the tool again, so it's not a true live subscription—you're polling on-demand. If your editorial calendar runs on a weekly cadence and you can trigger the Switchy workflow once a day, this solves the missing-RSS problem without adding another SaaS subscription.
