AskNews Python SDK

Static Badge

Python SDK for the AskNews API.

Installation

pip install asknews

Usage

Use ask.news.search_news() for a fast, surgical, single-search lookup when you already know the keywords or entities and do not need iterative discovery.
Use DeepNews (ask.chat.get_deep_news() in this SDK) to attach your agent to deep, iterative research across news and other sources: finding and following leads, identifying unknown entities, and connecting evidence across sources.

from asknews_sdk import AskNewsSDK

ask = AskNewsSDK(
    api_key="<YOUR API KEY>",
    scopes=["news", "chat", "stories", "analytics"]
)

query = "NVIDIA earnings"

# Fast lookup: prompt-optimized news context for your LLM.
news_context = ask.news.search_news(query).as_string

# Iterative discovery across news and other sources.
research = ask.chat.get_deep_news(
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Find and follow leads on AI chip supply risks."}],
    sources=["asknews", "google", "wiki"],
    engine="v1.5",
)
print(research.choices[0].message.content)

The API doesn't stop there, explore a wide range of endpoints:

/stories, high level event tracking and state of the art article clustering
/forecasts, industry leading forecasting on any real-time event
/analytics, time-series data on finance and politics
/deepnews, a deep research agent that can explore the new knowledge graph, X, Reddit, Google, Wikipedia and more to build forecasts, reports, analytics, and anything else your system may need.
/graph, build any news knowledge graph imaginable from the largest news graph on the planet
/websearch, search the web and get back an LLM distillation of all the relevant web pages
