Getting Started

To get started with Newscatcher API, you will first need to sign up for an API key. Once you have your key, you can start using the API immediately.

To make requests to the API, you will need to use the following endpoint:

const apiKey = '<Your-API-Key>';
const apiUrl = `https://api.newscatcherapi.com/v2/search?`;

Searching for News Articles

To search for news articles using Newscatcher API, you will need to specify your search query and any relevant parameters. Here is an example of how to search for articles on the topic of "politics":

const query = 'politics';
const params = {
    lang: 'en',
    sort_by: 'relevancy',
    page: 1,
    page_size: 10
};

const searchUrl = `${apiUrl}q=${query}&lang=${params.lang}&sort_by=${params.sort_by}&page=${params.page}&page_size=${params.page_size}&media=True`;

fetch(searchUrl, {headers: {'x-api-key': apiKey}})
    .then((response) => response.json())
    .then((data) => console.log(data))
    .catch((error) => console.log(error));
