  title: World News Extract News Top News API
  description: World News API provides real-time and historical news from thousands of sources across 210+ countries and 86+ languages. It supports full-text and semantic news search, geo-targeted local news search via a radius filter, article content extraction from arbitrary URLs, country-level top news clustering, newspaper front-page images, and news-source discovery. All requests are authenticated with an API key passed either as the `api-key` query parameter or the `x-api-key` HTTP header. Each endpoint consumes a number of points (credits) that count against your plan's daily allowance.
