A direct route for the buyer's wording

Agents often ask for a news API before they know which provider or feed they need. The news-api route now maps that wording to the existing news-search behavior.

Send a query with an optional result limit and lookback window. The response includes recent headline URLs, source domains, timestamps, language and country metadata, and per-headline sentiment. The route costs $0.005 in USDC on Base through x402. 

{
  "query": "stablecoin regulation",
  "limit": 5,
  "hours": 48
}

What stays the same

news-api shares the tested handler and input schema used by news-search. It searches public news through GDELT and can use the configured fallback when the primary source is unavailable.

The alias adds a clearer discovery path for a job the portfolio already performs. Existing news-search integrations keep their current route and response shape.

Use news-api for general article lookup, company or ticker news, and recent market topics. Crypto-specific callers can keep using crypto-news or crypto-news-api.
