Endpoints

An instance of NewsCatcherApiClient has three main methods that correspond to three endpoints available for NewsCatcher News API.

Get News (/v2/search)

Main method that allows you to find news article by keyword, date, language, country, etc.

all_articles = newscatcherapi.get_search(q='Elon Musk',
                                         lang='en',
                                         country='CA',
                                         page_size=100)

Get Latest Headlines (/v2/latest_headlines)

Get the latest headlines given any topic, country, sources, or language.

top_headlines = newscatcherapi.get_latest_headlines(lang='en',
                                                    countries='us',
                                                    topic='business')

Get Sources (/v2/sources)

Returns a list of the top 100 supported news websites. Overall, we support over 60,000 websites. Using this method, you may find the top 100 for your specific language, country, topic combination.

sources = newscatcherapi.get_sources(topic='business',
                                     lang='en',
                                     countries='US')

Use from_ and to_ instead of from and to like in NewsCatcher News API

In Python, we are not allowed to reserve variable names from and to. If you try to use them, you will get a syntax error:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

So, here is an example on how to use time variables from_ and to_ in get_search method.

all_articles = newscatcherapi.get_search(q='Elon Musk',
                                         lang='en',
                                         countries='CA,US',
                                         from_='2021/08/20',
                                         to_='2021/08/31')
