News

Search and track news worldwide

News searches and tracks news from around the world — by keyword, topic, location, or specific publisher. It covers 50+ regional editions in local languages, supports time filters from the last hour to the last month, and returns direct article links with source attribution.

AI models can't access live news, and web search returns mixed results. This tool gives you structured news data on demand: search for coverage on any topic, track what's trending right now, monitor news about a specific city, or follow a particular outlet — all with consistent formatting and real publication dates.

What you can do

  • search_news — find articles by keyword, phrase, location, or publisher with advanced operators and time filters
  • trending_news — get current top headlines by topic (world, business, technology, health, sports, etc.) and region
  • location_news — get news specifically about a city, state, or country
  • publisher_news — pull recent articles from a specific news outlet by name or domain

Who it's for

Researchers tracking a topic or company across media. Analysts monitoring industry news across regions. Anyone who needs current coverage on a specific story, location, or publisher as part of a workflow.

How to use it

  1. Use search_news for targeted keyword queries — add the when parameter (1h, 1d, 7d, 30d) to scope by recency
  2. Use trending_news to see what's breaking right now across topics and regions
  3. Use location_news for geography-specific coverage — useful for local business research or travel planning
  4. Use publisher_news to follow a specific outlet like Reuters, BBC, or TechCrunch

Getting started

Start with search_news and a topic. Set region to match your target audience (us, uk, de, jp, etc.) and use when to filter by recency. Combine with publisher_news to verify coverage in specific outlets.
