Free news API

Live headlines on crypto, politics, business, technology and world news, as JSON. Free tier is 1,000 requests a day and the key is issued instantly — there is no approval queue.

If you just want headlines on a page rather than data to render yourself, the embeddable widgets need no key at all.

2. Fetch articles
