All the world's news, one API
A global news database, updated continuously, with historical data since 2020. Build your products and research on the same data 150,000+ developers use.
Low latency
Requests return in 100–300 ms. We tune the infrastructure continuously to keep it that way at any volume.
Works with any language
Standard HTTP GET requests and JSON responses work from any programming language: send a request, parse the JSON, use the articles.
Stuck on your integration? Contact us.
Libraries, SDKs, and MCP server
Ship faster with the official SDKs for Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, and PHP. The LangChain tools and the MCP server bring real-time news into your AI agents.
Missing a source?
Know a reliable news website that GNews API doesn't cover yet? Suggest it, and we'll review it for the index.
Free academic access
Working on a thesis or an academic project? Students, researchers, and teachers can get the Essential plan for free.
Advanced request options
Build precise queries with search operators, then refine each request with optional parameters.
Search operators
Write queries for both endpoints with exact phrases, parentheses, and the AND, OR, and NOT operators.
