## About APITube

APITube turns the world's news into structured JSON. It aggregates articles from 500,000+ verified sources across 180+ countries in 60+ languages, and enriches every article before you see it: a sentiment score, extracted entities (people, organizations, locations, brands, events), IPTC categories, topics and industries. You call one HTTP endpoint and get data you can store, not HTML you have to parse.

## One request instead of a crawler

Search lives at GET /v1/news/everything with 65+ filter parameters that combine in a single call: keyword in the title, language, country, source domain, source quality rank, sentiment polarity and score range, entity ID, media presence, published date range, sorting. Positive English coverage of OpenAI from the last seven days is one URL with an api_key on it. Filtering happens server-side, so you are not downloading a firehose and throwing 99% of it away.

Each article comes back with the fields you would otherwise reconstruct by hand: title and body, published and modified timestamps, canonical URL, source domain with a quality rank, language and country, images and videos, and per-entity sentiment alongside the article-level score. Entity-level sentiment means you can ask for stories where Tesla specifically is covered negatively, not only stories that happen to be negative overall.

## Endpoints beyond search

- /v1/news/top-headlines — breaking coverage by country, language or category
- /v1/news/story — articles clustered into one story, so you count events instead of duplicates
- /v1/news/trends — trending entities, topics and categories over time buckets
- /v1/news/stream — a live Server-Sent Events feed of new matches
- /v1/suggest/entities — turns a name like "Tesla" into the entity ID you filter on

Authentication is a single API key, passed as an api_key query parameter, an X-API-Key header or an Authorization: Bearer header. JSON is the default response; XML, CSV, TSV, JSONL, XLSX and Parquet exports come with paid plans. Webhooks and WebSocket dispatches push new matches to your endpoint as they are indexed, so a side project does not have to poll on a cron.

## For AI side projects

APITube runs a hosted MCP server at [https://mcp.apitube.io/](https://mcp.apitube.io/) — nothing to install, no local process. It exposes search_news and suggest as tools, ships four prompts (monitor_company, topic_sentiment, breaking_news, compare_coverage), and works with Claude, Cursor, VS Code and other MCP clients. The MCP server is available on paid plans, starting with Starter.

## Who builds on it

- Brand and media monitoring: mentions across languages with sentiment already attached
- Finance and market intelligence: news filtered by entity, industry and sentiment as a model input
- RAG pipelines and AI agents: a live news corpus instead of scraped pages
- Research and data science: historical coverage for backtesting and longitudinal work
- Products that ship a news feed: apps, dashboards and newsletters without a crawler to maintain
